Moose on the loose near Regina, SK

Surprising, but true: Moose really do wander through the City of Regina sometimes. Recently, one was in Wascana Lake, and a few years ago, our flight from the Regina airport was delayed, because a moose was on the runway. (The airport is right on the edge of town, and that moose later strolled along the creek to the downtown area, where my colleagues saw it right outside our office.)

Fortunately, although these two moose were very near the western limits of Regina when we saw them in mid-June, they were also loping away from town.

What a thrill to see the pair, right along the TransCanada Highway! (Young, I think... At least, they look young to me. One male, one female, I also think...)
