I took photos through the window to avoid scaring him. As he woke up, he started eating snow to quench his early morning thirst.
I believe that he saw me through the window, which prompted him to get moving fairly soon. He stood up and scratched his back with his antler. That was hilarious!
With the sun rising behind him, he started nibbling on the aspen trees close to the house. Breakfast!
And then he turned to start walking away.
If you'd like to see a bit more moose action, check out the video below of a moose couple at a spring. It was taken after I thought that mating season was over. Clearly, the bull moose didn't agree with me!
it's tongue out tuesday and he knew it ;O)))
ReplyDeleteYour snoozer moose sure is a handsome dude!
ReplyDeleteWe would love to wake up and see a moose in our yard! What great pictures and video, KB!
ReplyDeleteFantastic - Your Place Is Clearly Putting Off Good Vibes
ReplyDeleteCheers
WOW! That's a much cooler neighbor than Mr. BunBun at my house.
ReplyDeleteI thought for sure you were going to mention something different! I remember coming upon recently-vacated moose beds in the snow back when I was doing forest inventory plots. Usually they contained fresh moose poop, and the reason I remember it so clearly is probably because I've often thought of it during the countless times I've seen one of my goats wake up, stand up, and....well, you guessed it.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the moose around your home.
ReplyDeleteHari Om

Oh my word Breakfast and a show to boot!! What a glorious animal and I might be a tad jealous of his built in back scratch.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.

What a wonderful way to start the day! You and moose having breakfast. Did you know the moose is the national animal of Sweden?
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat Wildlife that comes to you...
ReplyDeleteNothing like a moose to enjoy with your morning coffee:) You have your own version of Animal Kingdom!
ReplyDeleteBTW, love my Yak Trax!!!
My Aunt and Uncle (and my cousin and Godchildren) all live in Alaska. They have met many a moose in their daily activities, and have even been chased a time or two! I prefer to see them through your pictures! lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty! I love being able to look into his eyes! How much do you think he weighs and how tall is he standing up? Just curious.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. You have the most interesting back yard. I hope he didn't relieve himself.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a marvelous thing to see! He is very handsome :) Fabulous photos!
ReplyDeleteWow! THat's neat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a regal animal!!
ReplyDeleteThat is super cool! I'd love to wake up and see a beautiful moose like that in my yard. So nice he felt relatively safe near your house.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a moose in our yard! The previous owners told us they had been seen here, but we haven't seen a sign of any yet. It seems like everything else has been around, so maybe someday!
