Moose in Red Lodge
This is probably one of the best moose pictures taken in Red Lodge that I have and it is not me who took it!
It was my brother and my nieces who got to admire this scene during their first visit to Red Lodge while on a little hike. My younger niece Karine was the one who pointed the moose to my brother and he was lucky enough to capture this scene from a distance and from high up (a safe zone to be) looking over the West Fork of Rock Creek just South of Red Lodge. He got many photos of the mother and calf but the following is the one that I liked the best and the one I chose to share on here, on my first Montana Moose Monday post.

It's Good to Be Here!!

Richard,
I can imagine that they were probably some before in your area but they must have moved to the less populated areas of the country. Thanks for dropping by to comment.
Lyn,
Thank you for the first tabulated vote for more Moose Mondays. :)
Gerry this is great photo! I ran across a Mamma Moose standing in the middle of the road on Bear Tooth Pass several years ago. She wouldn't move so we just waited in the car (pouring down rain that day). Several minutes went by and then along came - 2 babies - Momma waited until they crossed the road and then she followed them. I didn't have the camera available - bummer. It was one of those moments I'll never foget. Magical!
Anna,
Thnak you for the positive feedback amd sharing your magical moment with us. I can visualize it in my head thanks to your words and description. When it is that magical, you don't need any photos to remember the moment. :)
Awwwww. So sweet! This is a great moose photo, your brother did a great job capturing the moment.
OMGosh! What an adorable little one! We have some (few) moose in Colorado - I have never seen one in the wild. I loved Anna's story, too!

That is one adorable baby! I have seen one in the wild here in CO, and many in the wild, (and on the street and on campus!) in Alaska! You are so right about the mama's being protective, it was one of the first things they told my son when he went to school at UAF, don't mess with the moose! Beautiful shot, and Moose Monday sounds like a plan, but how will you pull that off, with a sighting every 6 months?
I can help with that I have moose in my yard all the time... there is a mom and her babies out there right now...
I'm always up to seeing more pictures of things that we don't have here in San Diego, or at the Zoo or Wild Animal Park. Hope you entered the ActiveRain Nature & Marketing contest, too.
Wow - amazing photo! We've had a moose at the pond across the street from our house, and a baby moose too! They are such large animals it's always fun to see them in the wild. Thanks for posting the great pic!
Hi Gerry ~ I love moose! We used to camp a lot in Maine and Canada so I saw some then. And one night driving in New Hampshire I came around the corner and thought Hmmm... those are a couple of funny looking horses - not! But to see a baby moose - that is just the coolest thing. Wow!

Aaawwwwwwwwwwwwww. What more can be said. Beautiful animals and terrific pictures.
Terrie,
He sure did. I am jealous that I was not there with him to see the moose in person.
Debi,
I hope you got to see one in the wild (and got photos) during your most recent visit to Yellowstone National Park.
Cheryl,
I just have to take a lot of photos when I do get a moose sighting. Actually, the Moose Monday group is all about moose, real moose and objects representing moose. I even featured a member's kids who created the moose with antlers look on one of them. The main goal of the moose Monday group is too moosely have fun. :)
Debra,
Thank you for your regular contributions to the Moose Monday group. It sure looks like there are more moose sightings in Homer, Alaska thank in Red Lodge, Montana and especially in your back yard which the moose like to visit quite frequently. :)
Jim,
I did enter the contest last year and I enjoyed it very much. Russel did such a good job and he always comes up with more great ideas for contests. :)
Monica,
I am always wowed by their size when I see one. Thank you for visitng this post and for the positive feedback on the photo taken by my brother.
Liz,
There is something special about seeing a mother and her baby no matter what kind of animal we are talking of. I am glad you came by to see this cute pair of moose. :)
Kim,
Aaawwwwwwwwwwwwww indeed! Thank you for the nice comment. :)
