Moose Named Minus Six & Neat Milestome Acheived !

COLD! this morning. The temperature was minus six when I passed the Northeast Gate. I was not anticipating any action with the noisy walking conditions. The plan today was to hike five miles which would put me at the fifteen hundred mile milestone hiking Quabbin with a camera.
I certainly didn't think I would see anything  with the crunching snow under foot.

Just about back to the truck a second moose  crossed out in front of me. I did catch the sun glisten off one of its antlers. This is what I call an " Evidence Pic"

Nice morning to be out and a few critters where also out and about.

Myself and seven others spent the day in the Quabbin woods with Naturalist Professional Tracker David Brown. The day revealed a variety of tracks such as, deer,mice,flying squirrel,coyote,red fox,long teal weasel and bobcat.
Above is a set a bobcat tracks and  where is urinated under a leaning rock.


The day was full of information learning about the tracks of Quabbin wildlife residents.

I would recommend spending a day in the woods with David Brown . You can learn more by Googling David Brown Quabbin tracking.
