Packing the van to go hiking, looked up and saw this young moose just walking casually down the street!
This was in 2012. This encounter can be watched on Youtube here:
At this time of year the Island is accessible without a canoe.
This Goose was shielding 10 Goslings from the rain under it’s outstretched wing. They were on the bike path. They moved on and we counted them all. Surprised to see that so many were under there!
Wary of humans nearby, tough to get close enough for a good shot. 😀 Seems trusting nonetheless. Maybe we can be friends.
