Countdown 365 ~ T-206

Since early spring, we have been fortunate to have several Cow Moose taking refuge in our meadow during the birthing of their calves. Although, we have not seen them in the past couple of weeks, one cow has returned to our lawn and adjoining meadow to once again take up residence. She and her calves showed up last evening and has remained to allow us a little time to enjoy their antics and natural curiosity. Although, they are starting to feed on the natural grasses, they still enjoy sipping a little fresh milk from mom, if she will hold still long enough. From her reactions, I am assuming the nursing period is coming to a conclusion. Despite how many of them you have seen, you can not help but snapping a few pictures and enjoying the miracles of mother nature.

Is that the blonde cow from an earlier shoot? She definitely sports a nice summer coat compared to the shaggy blond she wore in spring. Good healthy moose family.
