A little moose was by itself when I arrived. Shortly thereafter, mother moose wandered closer to her little one while I was there. I stopped to take some photos from my car window on my way home.
I stopped to take pictures while I was on my way home from work. This is my favorite photo I took of the two moose from my car window earlier this morning 2/22/2026.
