Cow Moose and New Born Calves

We have a large meadow on our property that is away from the road system and other houses.  Each spring, several Cow Moose will move into the meadow to raise their young.  On occasion, they will venture out of the meadow and onto our lawn, allowing us the opportunity to see and enjoy the antics of their new "babies".  The family visiting us at present is a Cow and her twin calves.  For the past two evenings, she has moved onto the lawn late in the evening to bed down.  The calves are still nursing, however, they are also now eating their "greens", primarily the leaves of the Alder Bushes.  Photographs were taking under natural light conditions at 11:35 pm on June 20th.
