here is a short story of a mother moose and her baby from last summer…..The pair were across the channel from me …..the channel was perhaps 100-150ft wide. I watched as the mother tried to coax her calf to follow her into the water so they could cross together. But nope, the calf had cold feet…..Finally, the cow just left the calf there and swam across the channel. check out the two images…..One shows the cow turning to look back at the calf and the next is when after the calf had finally decided to go join her mom…….the cow is gently nuzzling her baby in such a caring way……very precious to watch………On top of it all, it startd pouring right in the middle of all this………one image shot with 70-200mm F2,8 VR, the other with 300mm F2,8 AF-S VR…both with D300 Nikon
Mother knows best……….and Mother Moose is quite patient
