Here's a hint: they're not human, and not birds.

Alright, I can't keep it in any longer. Here's the two visitors that came around this morning:

Just a cow with her bull calf just passing through. We thought maybe they'd stop and eat the bird seed on the ground but either she doesn't know what bird seed tastes like or she wasn't interested in it. Good thing since she's teaching her son (probably a yearling from the looks of him) some good habits.

Well, lol, your having better luck at photography than I am today!

They are just such pretty critters arent they?

Thanks for sharing

 

[WildRoseBeef]

They certainly are, they're quite something up close and personal like that. I had used the manual setting on my camera to get those pics, seems to take better pictures that way instead of leaving it on the automatic mode. Especially since the automatic mode tends to include the flash function in darker lighting periods. So the manual mode is best if I don't want or need flash.

Yes, I usually use the manual mode as the auto frequently used the flash option.

I like the Moose visitors. Wish we got those this far south but they are a VERY rare site in the northern parts of the state.

Well it's not often that we see them come up that close like that lol. Usually they're off in the distance, much too far to get just a head-shot like I got with the telephoto lens.

I have photo #7 as my wall paper, that, as well as the one with the calf nuzzling his mom, is my favorite.

Great pics - 5 years in Canada and still not seen one - even on my trips North

Aw you'll get your chance. Usually you see one when it's least expected.

Those moose left us a "present" on the front lawn as the went lol. I had to track them for a ways and it seems like they went to the neighbors just kitty-corner to us first before passing through our place again.

A few evenings ago (probably Saturday) I heard an owl a-hootin' away in the bush to the south-east of us while I was out chipping ice on the walk. Darn thing near drove me nuts lol. Waled to the other field to try to see him with the binoculars and camera but to no avail. Probably a Great Horned owl, but I'm not entirely sure. It sure was hooting away about something, and the sound sure does travel far here even with the trees we have, but man I hate it when I hear something but can't see what's making those sounds!

What a Moosance. I hope they didn't do any damage.
