MOOSE: A Boundary Co. wildlife treasure!

Only weeks old and protected at the flank of its mother, a moose calf begins to explore its world at the base of the Selkirk Mountains on a pond beside Myrtle creek. The cow and her calf remain in the forest and the willow thickets most of the day it was by chance I got to photograph this rare sight. As the calf grows they will emerge more often to feed on submerged aquatic plants in ponds and streams.
