June 3rd, 2011 Moose Traffic

Today as I do every friday morning, I hike out to check my Moose cam, immediately, I noticed on my camera that the Moose traffic was down slightly from the week before. This week I only got 520 pictures down from 860 the week before. I looked at my pictures and as the week rolled on I noticed fewer and fewer cows, this can only mean 1 thing, Baby Calves! I think many cows have given birth this past week, with that said next week I should have some calf pics to share with everyone.

Cows, once given birth to their young, if not already near water will lead them to water after only 1-2 days and teach them to swim. Swimming for calves is a huge defense against predators.



Here are a few pics taken this past week by my Reconyx!
