While Ireland was fun, there is no place like home! As I compose this post, Amy is hooting nonstop outside my office window. It’s 6:15 am, and I have learned she now hoots most pre-dawn days about an hour before sunrise.

As noted in my blog post title, yesterday was my “Return to Greenwood”. It had been 2.5 weeks since my last hike into the boreal forest at Greenwood to swap out trailcam simm cards and learn what wildlife is “hanging out”. Oh my, while the number of moose videos are crazy cool (some provided below with up to 4 moose in a single video clip … bulls and cows. My trailcams also captured on camera:

• Bear
• Canada Lynx
• Red fox
• Timber wolves (including my white wolf!)

Here are some promised Moose Videos. One highlight is that I now have sound enabled, which means I am also bringing you the sounds of the forest!

In the first two videos … listen to the cow moose which is just off camera. In the second clip it is obvious her sounds and scent attracted a large bull moose within two hours. In the final three videos you will see four moose, including the bull moose. I believe these are the same four moose in all five videos.

• Video Link 1 for blog email subscribers (cow moose sounds)
• Video Link 2 for blog email subscribers (bull moose appears two hours later)
• Video Link 3 for blog email subscribers (entire moose family … four moose)
• Video Link 4 for blog email subscribers (entire moose family … four moose)
• Video Link 5 for blog email subscribers (entire moose family … four moose)

Just in case you thought this blog had become 365 Days of Moose, here are some spruce grouse photographs I took near Greenwood yesterday morning. I had the definite impression this male was aware a female grouse was near by, but it took me almost ten minutes to find her.
