Compost Moose
At least once a day, they arrive. Mama moose and baby. I know they are here because, one of our three dogs knows and alerts the other two. They are HUGE, and wander around , sniffing out the compost, now covered with several layers of warm hay. They rub on the cedar trees , reaching up, stretching their long brown necks to nibble some florescent green lican. I always wonder how something so large can be a vegan? Last year, as I hiked in and out during mudseason with my toddler in the back pack and my than kindergartener in tow, we encountered daily an aggressive moose, which greatly changed my opinion about the gentle giants, and made me really glad they are vegans!

Jen, do you ever get any pictures of them? We had one very young bull moose come in our driveway about 4 years ago. He got a drink form our mudpuddle and I have never seen one since. My husband asked me if I saw a moose or a mule? I had to wait until the pictures came back from being developed, that was before I had a digital camara. When he saw them he was amazed we don't get them in Kamiah in side the city limits.
ReplyDeleteI am jealous! We don't have and moose where I live. We do have lots of deer, elk, coyotes, and occasional cougars. I dont think I have ever seen a real moose before. I would love to see pictures if you have any! I love watching the beautiful gifts nature has given us.
