Field Notes

Notes:

Woke up early again and went moosing...Brainard Lake, Colorado...this moose was laying in the willows about 100 feet from us...he struggled to his feet and we saw he had a gimpy leg...looked pretty swollen...poor guy! He looked good though...fit and trim...velvet coming off his antlers. Hopefully he'll recover to sire the next generation!
