Moose are a big part of life at Camp, if you'll pardon the pun. This young bull visited us frequently in the Spring of 2006. Here, he's seen in front of the lodge as looking toward Togue.

Moose are vegetarians and typically feed on a variety of tree leaves and shoots. Around the pond, they enjoy feeding on water grasses, lily, and other pond weeds. We most often see them behind the Island, but they enjoy all of the shallow areas near the shore.

Young moose are called calves, and are redder than their adult counterparts. They typically stay with the mother for about a year.

It's important to look out for moose when driving on the road in to Camp. Especially on foggy days, they're known to be a danger to vehicles, and visa versa. If you encounter one, just slow down and don't try to pass. It (or they) will find its way into the woods before too far.

Especially in the spring, moose will come right up to the Lodge. The structure in the front of this picture is our front porch, and the dock can be seen behind the moose. This picture was taken in the Spring of 2005.

There are typically several families of ducks at Camp each summer. Our most common species are mallards, black ducks, goldeneyes, and wood ducks. A mother duck can have anywhere from one to fifteen chicks to keep track of.

Mallards are one of the most common duck types we see at Camp. This male is going through a molting period.

Ruby-throated hummingbirds are a common sight at Camp. Hummingbirds can eat up to five times their own body weight each day; they love the feeders we keep stocked around the kitchen and the flowers in the garden.
