It's May and moose watching tours in Maine have begun at Northeast Guide Service. May 1 was opening day for moose tours and we had the pleasure of sharing what the Moosehead Lake Region has to offer through scenery, wildlife and of course...MOOSE!
Not only was last evening our first moose tour of the 2013 season, it was also a first for Jessica to take a couple from the Czech Republic on a moose safari in Maine. Jessica enjoys meeting people from every corner of the United States, but it's always exciting when folks visit from far away places, countries and cultures. It's not only an opportunity for us to show our beautiful area, but a time to learn from each other. This couple loves the outdoors and when they travel, they enjoy camping as their means of stay. They usually tent camp, but this time around decided to try an RV and loved it. Since most campgrounds in our region aren't open for the season yet, I suggested that they stay at Squaw brook, which is on Plum Creek's land. It's a lovely spot just outside of Greenville towards Rockwood.
We met up last evening at Northeast Guide Service for our 4 o'clock tour. We hadn't even left the Greenville town line and a young yearling bull was standing along the side of the road drinking some water in a ditch.
We continued along our journey and a healthy cow moose was doing the same. This unseasonably hot Maine weather has really made it imperative for moose to find any stream, brook or muddle puddle to slurp water from!
2 more female moose were found to round out our evening. We took some amazing pictures, but most importantly enjoyed visiting and learning about each other.
Our nightcap was the sunset at Blair Hill last evening. It was simply spectacular.
