A moose on the loose…
This moose was grazing in a marsh west of Bragg Creek when I drove by. She stared at me for a minute, trotted through brambles a bit and then stared back to me again.
April 24th update: Thank you to The Mysterious Blogger for suggesting the title of this post – now updated. And, to P.grover for improving my/our understanding of moose and threats to their health.

Those lovely colourful marsh plants look as though they were made for a watercolour painting!

They look so motley at this time of year, wondered if it was mange when I saw one like this, but a nice find, nonetheless.Didn’t know about winter ticks, so I appreciate the comment by P.Grover I like the change in the branches of the shrubs to that reddish tinge in early spring, too.

Not a very healthy looking girl…she’s obviously suffering with winter ticks! Poor thing…I hope she can survive them.

I had thought it was her winter coat falling out but I have to agree with you, sadly. I didn’t know what winter tick impact looks like – thank you for sharing your knowledge. I hope she recovers as well. If I see her again, I’ll update on how she’s doing.

That’s beautiful. I have seen a few moose in the wild and I think they are just fascinating.

Hi Patty. I completely agree with you – they are fascinating.

I love that! That’s the best title for this post. Do you mind if I use that?
