DEC: 6 moose killed in three-day period

"The state Department of Environmental Conservation is urging motorists to be wary of moose and use “extreme caution” while navigating roadways this month. At least four of the animals have been struck by motor vehicles between Sept. 29 and Oct. 1, said the DEC. 'The uptick can be attributed to breeding season, said DEC Region 5 Wildlife Manager Paul Jensen."

A nice morning in the wilderness.

Sitting back listening to the birds, watching as the sun climbs higher in the sky and a beautiful day gets underway. No bugs, just a moth and a dragon fly in the distance pollinating flowers while a red tail hawks soars above. Not a cloud in the sky, deep blue beauty as the sun climbs over the tree line.
