The vegetation is finally greening up in the valleys so the moose have come down from the high country. On this morning, Andy and I saw two moose on the hill opposite Horseshoe Park (in RMNP) and two more at Sheep Lakes. They were all males (bulls) and were more interested in eating and drinking than in all the visitors with cameras. That is, until they spotted a coyote. One coyote isn't a big deal, and after assessing the situation, they went back to their business. After about 15 minutes, 2 more coyotes came racing out of the woods. They were having a heyday chasing each other and had a joyful reunion with the third. That is when the moose become concerned. Soon, the coyotes began harassing the moose and the moose began charging the coyotes. What a sight! It didn't last long (since the moose were clearly healthy) but it didn't stop the coyotes from yipping and singing with glee. Soon, the moose retreated to the cooler woods and the coyotes went their separate way. Amazing!
