Recently, I went to check a trail camera, and I saw it hanging at a funny angle from the tree. It was obvious that "someone" had messed with it. My first thought was a bear, and I checked it with great anticipation that we'd have our final bear view of the year.
I was wrong... a bull moose had rearranged it. He and his lady arrived at a water hole during moose mating season. When they first arrived, they were "talking" in a very whiny way. Make sure that you have your volume on for the video.
Then, the cow moose departed and the bull moose moved toward the camera. He ate for a while next to it, and then he turned his full attention to it. He took a selfie as he rearranged the cam.
I feel very lucky that he didn't destroy the camera. Instead, he turned it so that it was pointed at nothing in particular.
I'm getting zillions of photos and videos of moose these days. I think that they'll keep us entertained for a while!
Here is the video for today! You can watch it here or at Youtube.

ReplyDeleteClose-up and personal cannot get closer than that. Their feet walking in the water, the sounds are so clear, and gentle talking, wild life like we would not see otherwise.Thanks again for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHeh, heh. Sounds like she was saying, "not tonight, dear." 😆 Great selfie!
ReplyDeleteNot often you get to see a moose selfie! Glad your camera is still OK.
ReplyDeleteI am hysterical and ROFL out loud... the talking just slays me, sounds like humans. keep them coming
ReplyDeleteMaybe he thought the camera wasn't getting his best side?

Moose are great, and so talented taking selfies with a trail cam. Hopefully they won't ruin any of your cams.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see how healthy they look going into winter. I havnt been up on my mountain for a few weeks the snow is getting too deep for my little truck and I was getting a little moose withdrawals. Thanks I feel better now.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that I could help :)
DeleteCool selfie. The sound of their voices was different that we expected. So interesting to see what your cameras catch.
ReplyDeletePoor guy didn't want you to film his bull moose sex
ReplyDeleteOMD, they sound like an old married couple! So, whatcha think Marge, Aspen or Fir for dinner? Not Aspen, we had that last night ~ fir...definitely Fir.
