Throughout our travels across New England and Southeastern Canada, we saw many references to moose. Road signs warned of potential collisions and a host of streams, lakes, mountains, refuges, parks, towns, shops, taverns and beverages were named in honor of those elusive creatures.
Though we drove through "moose habitat" in early morning or late daylight hours (when moose are especially active), we never caught sight of these large, northern herbivores. Were it not for convincing evidence on nature videos, one might think moose are in a league with Sasquatch!
Of course, I jest. While I have observed moose in the more open landscapes of the American West, they are certainly hard to locate in the dense vegetation of the Northeast (if they do exist!).
