First moose ever! (There were two, I just didn't see the second one until I got home)
Was hiking with my friend in Abisko in February when we saw our first moose ever. It wasn't until we got home and went through our photos that we noticed there was a second, much smaller moose hiding in the bushes right next to it the whole time. We had no idea while we were standing there – luckily we were far enough away (5x zoom).
I just kept thinking of that one comment: "Moose aren't usually dangerous... unless it's a mom and her calf" 😂

Sound recordist visiting Moosehead lake-Looking for quiet spots for loons, moose and unique natural sounds
Hi everyone,
I’m a field recordist and sound designer visiting the Moosehead Lake area soon and I’m hoping to spend several days recording the natural soundscape of the region.
I’m especially interested in:
• Common loon calls (ideally away from boat traffic)
• Moose encounters and any vocalizations they may make
• Beaver activity
• Dawn chorus and boreal forest birds
• Wetlands, bogs, streams, and quiet coves
• Any unique sounds that locals associate with Moosehead Lake,
I’m staying near rockwood but am willing to drive,canoe, or kayak to reach good locations.
What I’m really looking for are places where human noise is minimal—little road noise, no people talking, and limited boat traffic, remote ponds, logging roads, wetlands, or less-visited areas would be amazing.
I’d also love to hear from anyone who knows:
Best times of day for loon activity
Areas where moose are commonly seen at sunrise or sunset
Places where you’ve heard particularly interesting wildlife sounds
Any spots that photographers, birders, or guides know about but tourists usually miss,
I’m not looking to disturb wildlife, so feel free to DM me if there’s information you’d rather not post openly.
Thanks in advance. I’m excited to experience and record the sounds of the North Woods and would love to learn from people who know the area well.

This is easily the biggest moose I’ve ever seen in my life

How to stay safe around the most dangerous animal on the planet.
Just kidding... Moose danger is highly over-rated and a lot is said about them that is not accurate. One "fact" in particular is that they are more dangerous than bears, but that's not really true.
In Alaska, where we have lots of both, bears kill more people than moose despite the fact that moose encounters are much more frequent than bear encounters.
I think moose are pretty cool and I hope everyone who wants to see them gets to do so, but moose are wild animals and should be treated with caution!
If you want to learn about moose beyond Monty Python quotes misinterpreted statistics, the Alaska Department of Fish and game has this resource available that can help you understand a bit about moose and can help you have a safe and enjoyable interaction:

Operators are standing by
I’ve seen adult moose collared before but never a calf. Supposedly ADFG is doing a study of sorts to figure out how long a cow will leave her new calves alone.
The collar worn by the calf has some sort of transmitter. I will have to get more info!

Moose shots from today
My husband saw this pretty Ms.Moose as we were pulling into a parking area to a trail/area we have hiked often. We threw on our gear, grabbed our water bottles and took off on the trail. We crossed over the meadow into the wooded area and found her across the valley. The last shot is still zoomed, but not as much as the others, so we were a good distance away, no worries there.

Are there more moose or just more post?
I’ve been seeing so many moose posts on Instagram. Many are moms with twins. Not clear if this is a baby boom of sorts or folks are just seeing them and snapping pics and vids.
