 "[This picture was] taken at Lake Tarleton in Piermont, New Hampshire on June 5, 2001. See moose frequently. First time seeing twins, and first time seeing a baby this young." Mooseworld: It's a special treat to see moose and especially moose this young. A cow typically has twins, so this is a typical family photo (since, just as typically, the bull has gone off on his own).   "Here are some moose pictures taken last weekend (in May, 2001) in Rangeley, Maine. Hope you can use them." Mooseworld: Thanks for the nice photos. This young moose is curious from the front and curious from the back!  "Here is another picture, this time from a cold early morning in Baxter State Park in Maine. I've also got another local sighting report, three cows and a calf together in a hemlock bog in a Massachusetts state forest near the Quabbin Reservoir. A good (and lucky) viewing month!" Mooseworld: This photo is from our "Moose Alley" contributor below. It's great to know that we have so many viewers—and contributors—coming back to Mooseworld.  Mooseworld: This photo came to us from a friend of Mooseworld who was driving through Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and found "Mac the Moose," the world's largest moose statue. (Yes, that's a normal-sized fence in the background!)  "This is a bull moose that I photographed this past July in Baxter State Park in Maine. I've made about five trips up north this year photographing moose with good results. I've been collecting my own reference material for art work and hope to send you some images of some moose paintings soon." Mooseworld: Wow! Not only is this a great moose photo, but Mooseworld has the prospect of more. Thanks so much, and good luck with your work. Note:This contributor to Mooseworld is our first featured artist in the Portfolio section of Mooseworld.  "Here is a picture from Maine. We think the sign says it all." Mooseworld: We agree. You definitely want to stop for a thousand-pound obstacle like a moose. Thanks for sharing this special moose photo.  "Here are two pictures from a trip to the Connecticut Lakes region of northern New Hampshire. The area is known as "Moose Alley" and even hosts a moose festival in late summer. In recent years moose have reestablished themselves throughout many areas of neighboring Massachusetts, especially northern Worcester County where I currently live; in fact I just saw two at the Barre Falls Dam wildlife management area this past weekend. It's amazing how a tiny chipmunk makes much more noise climbing a small tree than two adult moose running through fallen leaves and broken branches." Mooseworld: For such large creatures moose can be graceful and surprisingly quiet, so the chipmunk analogy is a great one. Thanks for the photos and description.  "I took this about five minutes ago :-) It's cold and because it is afternoon it is a bit dark out. I took this from out my window. This moose has just figured out if she hits the bird feeder with her head a shower of sunflower seeds rains down on the snow. They are much smarter then they look. Now my birds will have to go without until she gives up this idea." Mooseworld: What a clever moose! Mooseworld thanks you for this great candid picture from Alaska.
"HELLO MOOSES! We are so exited to be official members of Mooseworld! If only you knew how much the moose means to us. From the tip of its antlers to the ends of its hoofs, we cherish the moose and are eager to meet people via the net who feel the same way. We would be very grateful if you could send us some addresses of other moose fans. Thank you and we await a reply." Mooseworld: This message arrived through Moose Mail from England, but we wanted to share it with everyone. "Was in Maine when we went riding in the car. I wanted to see a moose. In a very high-pitched voice I started calling, "Here moosey, moosey, moosey." Everyone in the car started to laugh and it has stuck ever since. Everytime my girlfriend and I talk or see one another we start it over. Then we laugh and laugh. "Moosey, moosey, moosey." Mooseworld: This is why we say that moose can make lives better and happier. "I never noticed moose much. Sure I saw some in the wild, canoeing in the BWCA but heck I saw bear and deer too—no big deal. Well let me tell you what raised my MOOSE AWARENESS. A friend and I (women of undetermined age) were in Winnipeg. Arlo Guthrie was performing in a little auditorium. We went to see him. So what does Arlo Guthrie have to do with moose? Well he wrote a children's book, 'When Mooses Go Walking.' He recited it and for whatever reason, it struck us terribly funny. From that moment on, we have seen moose everywhere. When we see something with a moose on it we send it to each other. We now have lots of somethings that are moose. Now we find ourselves being 'moosed' by many who don't know how it started or why. They just notice we have lots of weird stuff that has a moose on it or is a moose. They are everywhere. Oh well—good thing it wasn't a snake that caught our fancy." Mooseworld: Well, we've got to agree with that last statement. You can purchase Arlo Guthrie's book, "Mooses Come Walking," at the Mooseworld Bookstore. |
