Same bull moose as yesterday. This was the first -- and only time I have seen a bull moose "croaking." I was thrilled to capture it in a photo. Like elk, it happens only in the fall. It is to "announce" his availability for mating. However, the sound is nothing like that of an elk. It is a softer, quieter sound, and I heard it only once during the 5 1/2 hours I spent with him. Interestingly, there was a bull elk 800 - 900 yards away that I could hear bugling as I was photographing the moose. It reminded me of the multiple sounds and sights of the Azure Gate. More of that later.
