A juvenile (I’m told) frequented the shallow end of the lake outside our brother and sister-in-law’s cottage. We also saw them, mainly mothers and babies, in the wetlands outside of town. The town is adjacent to Rocky Mtn. Nat’l Park. You know when they’re there because all the tourists stop their cars, jump out and take pix! This is in spite of the signs saying “Don’t stop and bother the moose! They’re WILD and can turn on you!” The Rangers have their hands full. When a group run, the earth shakes! Seriously, you can feel trembling in your legs and feet!

I live here (born and raised) and I don’t see them that often. But I have seen them.

The strangest sighting of all took place about six years ago… I have a bay window in my art studio and I saw a moose dive into the harbor here in Rockland. The window I saw this from is only 16″ wide and the view was obscured by trees. So I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to see it. From my vantage point, there was only a brief “window” of opportunity, say about 20 seconds. I just happened to be looking out the right window at the time. If I had been looking out the center window pane, I never would have seen it.

That is the most recent moose sighting I’ve had.
