Since a number of PF members are interested in Alaska, I thought I would start an ongoing thread on some of the happenings up here.
This is the time of the year when moose give birth. Each year, we get one or more cow moose around our house with their newborn calves. We think they come closer to houses, to try to keep their babies safer from bears. Moms are generally focused on their babies, but while most are pretty docile, any individual moose can become surly. We scan outside for creatures before letting our dog or even ourselves outside. Yesterday, we had four moose in the "yard" -- a cow and calf, a young bull and another cow.
