Moose: Floating Island Lake, Yellowstone National Park, September 2024 \u2014 It is rutting season in Yellowstone, and this bull moose was in close attendance on the calf and cow we found feeding at the edge of the reeds in Floating Island Lake\u2026I am told that it is a rare sight to see a bull \u201cguarding\u201d a cow with a calf the way his was, but I think maybe he was just hoping to get \u201clucky\u201d. He seems to have romance on his mind in this shot. The cow may be somewhat reluctant as she still has this spring\u2019s calf with her, but if he catches her in just the right 12 hour period when she is receptive, he might have a chance. He does seem determined. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator. <\/p>\n
