Well, the Poplar Lake moose with her two calves is still around - our Cabin 2 guests saw her yesterday morning over by the beaver huts. She seems to be moving from one island of our bay to the other and bringing her little ones along in tow. They're getting pretty good size!
One of our canoeing families had an interesting experience last week on Caribou. Mom and daughter started up to the "throne" and were attacked by a couple of BIG birds that looked a heck of a lot like wild turkeys! The birds were apparently nesting in the area and didn't want company around their nest - they made a determined effort to chase the newly arrived family away. Dad went up and managed to convince the birds that the two families could co-exist on the same campsite, but the birds waddled after and gobbled at him too. You never quite know WHAT you'll meet up with in the BWCA! And yes, the family checked their Birds of Minnesota book...
