While animal specialists may tell you that Maine moose and wildlife are "spooked" by the fireworks that we all love for Independence Day, but they would be wrong! Our 4th of July Moose Tour got to see four moose altogether, three cooling off in a nearby stream with a bald eagle friend, and one right on the road. Our other recent moose safaris have had similar luck; We had a private Moose Safari for a family of eleven join us on July 3rd and also got to see four moose, including a little baby calf! It was a lot of fun going out with such a nice big family, and the kids had a blast! We also had a couple from Singapore join us- they had been looking all week for a moose along the roads, doing some safari-ing of their own and trying to find the best place to see a moose. With no luck, they decided to join one of our evening canoe tours and low and behold, they finally saw a moose! That same day, one of our early morning tours had a very close encounter with a confused yearling looking for mom. Seeing a yearling is special because they are often the most nervous of all moose...after a year of having the comfort of Mom at all times, yearlings are fresh out on their own learning to fend for themselves. Of the five other moose we saw that day, one was a mother and her calf, possibly relatives of the scared little yearling we had seen earlier! Overall, it has been a wonderful holiday with beautiful weather and of course, many sightings of the majestic Maine moose!
