2 Moose Make a Splash Crossing Moose River In Upstate New York
Here's something you don't see every day. Two moose making a splash as they cross the Moose River in Upstate New York.
Skip Oswald was lucky enough to capture the majestic animals as they crossed near the South Branch of the River about 5 miles from Old Forge.
Oswald said he was standing on the bridge just before noon.

Oswald was able to take a few photos of the two moose just as one was in the water.

Moose More Active
Moose are more active in the fall but be careful.
Cows with calves can be irritable and fiercely protective. Rutting bulls can also be extremely unpredictable, sometimes charging people, farm animals, and even cars.
If you've ever dreamed of seeing a moose, this is the time of year to do it.
It's also fall foliage season in the Adirondacks, which is stunning. If you're lucky enough, you'll get two for the price of one.

Report Moose
If you see a moose, you're asked to report it to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). They are conducting a multi-year research project to obtain information on the status of New York State's moose population, the health of the moose, and the factors that influence moose survival and reproductive rate.
