A roadside yearling moose survivor

[Waumbek]

I met this yearling moose on the road near my house this afternoon. She shows the signs of a winter tick infestation on her abraded back, but the skin looks clean and healed over. She has survived the deadly first year for calves who are attacked by winter ticks.
