This moose cow was working her way around Sandy Stream Pond in Baxter State Park, Maine. Grazing and drinking. Grazing and drinking. She even tried a bit of grazing while drinking — on the mineral rich vegetation growing in the middle of the pond. Nikon D200 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 70mm) ISO 200, f/4.5 at 1/180th of a second.

The Thirsty Moose sounds like a pub in a New England set sitcom. “How I Met Your Mother and Bought Her a Flannel and Some Wicked Maple Syrup”
Lovely photo – lovely animal – lovely setting. It’s all good!
