Moose Drop

Around here the last couple of weeks of May are known as Moose Drop Week.  This is when all the momma moose give birth to their babies.  It can be quite an eventful time.  Last year one momma moose hopped a fence to give birth in someone's backyard.  She successfully delivered twins and then she jumped back over the fence, but turned around and her babies were stuck on the other side....They weren't big enough to jump the fence... So she proceeded to tear up the fence and the trampoline and went crazy in this family's backyard.

Just now on the way home from a morning of errands, I was heading towards Wal-Mart when across the street from that lovely blue store came a momma and a baby...My first Moose Drop sightings of the season.  Since I am still getting used to my new phone and I was driving I got the following pictures of the tiny new baby and momma.  I should have left my video longer, since it turned out the best....at least it looks good on my phone...You can't see Wal-Mart, but the entrance is literally just out of view from the images below.

They are in there, trust me! Click on the picture and them zoom in to find them.

I also saw 2 moose this weekend!  But no babies...and since the antlers haven't started growing in yet for this year (did you know moose shed their antlers and re-grow those crazy things every year?) it is hard to tell if they were boys or girls that I saw. But considering I have had a dry spell on moose sightings for a while, this is big, blog worthy news!

Don't forget, when I get to 100 I am having a cool Moose-Tacular Give Away!!  2 more to go!!
