First moose of the morning.
I'd very optimistically set my alarm for 3:00 AM so I could get to Algonquin and walk in to Wolf Howl pond for sunrise. When I awoke at 3 I checked the weather forecast online and could still hear rain falling so decided to sleep in a bit. 5:00 AM saw me up and out and on my way to the park. God bless the Tim Horton's in Bancroft, Ontario.
I came upon this handsome Bull already being photographed in this patch of wildflowers. I joined in and he seemed quite content to pose for us as he grazed. Another car appeared on the scene but failed to move to the shoulder while watching the Moose. The sound of squealing tires as the next car on the scene narrowly missed colliding with previous arrival was enough to send this bull dashing into the forest.
Please. Please. Please. If you are going to stop to look at wildlife in Algonquin Park get safely off the road before stopping. The road is also used by drivers who are not visiting the park but simply passing through. This includes large transport trucks and large military vehicles. Also, a driver may be too distracted by the moose he/she's just spotted to notice you in the way.
