A single moose booking it along the edge of the lagoon, up to trail that runs parallel to Minnesota/L, and then running north on the path. Hope it didn't encounter too much trouble with anyone, it was really moving.

Unusual to see moose droppings so wet and clumped together at this time of year. Typical winter droppings are hard, distinct pellets. A sign of condition or distress?

First feeding sign of moose gnawing on trees that I've observed this winter. Last year's feeding signs above it. I wonder if moose start feeding on tree trunks/bark around the same date every year, or if it has more to do with winter conditions, moose nutrition status, etc.
