2202_1017 Moose!

            I haven't seen any Moose at close range in Grasslands since last fall, but that changed last week. In late afternoon, driving through the Frenchman River Valley, I spotted a cow Moose crossing some sagebrush flats, approaching the park road diagonally. I slowed down to intercept her; she surprised me by not veering off course. I made this shot from the car. Dark animal against light background - not the easiest configuration to meter and process!

After she crossed the road, she went up into the hills. I followed on foot, and we watched each other warily. Neither of us overreacted, so for me it was a pleasant encounter. I can't speak for the Moose.
