Moose & Calf at Vail Public Library: Mary McDougall Photo

Description

This image of a shiras moose (Alces alces shirasi) and calf was captured by VPL staff member, Mary McDougall. Observed browsing on wild rose (Rosa woodsii syn. R. blanda), the moose cow was enjoying the greenscape between Vail Public Library and Gore Creek. Early that morning, this same moose was observed browsing on river birch (Betula occidentalis) leaf and twig. During this interlude, McDougall turned a corner and experienced a too-close-for-comfort greeting of this wary moose mother.
