When in Denali National Park in 2015 we had to wait several hours for the campers' bus at the visitors' center. We spent the time hiking the area and encountered this cow moose at Horseshoe Lake. We later heard that she had attacked several visitors but we had no problems with her though we did stay at a distance.

This cow and calf Moose were photographed just down the road from where we live. There had been reports of them for months but we did not actually see them until yesterday.

This is a Moose calf, photographed down the road from where we live. There have been reports of them in the area and we finally saw and photographed them yesterday, a cow and two nearly full grown calves.

There have been reports of several moose in our area and our daughter saw them when driving to our house a few weeks ago. I've been carrying my camera when I'm out hoping to see and photograph them, but without success until yesterday. I was taking a walk - without my camera - and spotted a cow and two calves, ran home to get my camera and my wife and went out again looking for them and saw them just down the road from where we live. This is the cow and the insets show her and the two calves that were with her. I'm interrupting my series on Joshua Tree National Park to post these and adding them to the group for Pam since I know how excited she would be to see these.

This is another photo of the cow moose we saw at Horseshoe Lake in Denali National Park. At this point the moose was feeding in the lake.

He (or she) was photographed along the Resurrection River near the entrance to the Exit Glacier area of Kenai Fjords National Park. The ranger who was checking up on him said that he had been there for a couple of days with no sign of his mother, but the next day when we went by he was gone.

This cow moose was photographed at Horseshoe Lake in Denali National Park on one of the hikes we did while in Denali. We learned later that this cow had been hanging around the lake and had been very aggressive towards anyone who invaded her space. We were not actually as close as appears in the photo and when she moved in our direction we moved quickly away. Moose are often as dangerous as grizzlies and do not like people coming too near them.

The American Moose, Alces alces, is the largest living animal in the deer family. This young male was photographed in Jasper National Park, Alberta.

Or is it Mooses? Whatever you call two of them they were photographed in the area of Bonaparte Lake in eastern Washington. They were very wary and when we started to take pictures they quickly disappeared. They are the largest animals in the deer family and the second largest mammal in North America, second only to the bison. These are the subspecies known as Alces alces shirasi, the smallest of all the subspecies in North America
