Wildlife Photos, and tidbits

Buffalo - Tick (Riding Mountain National Park), Moose - Tick (Hecla Island Provincial Park), More Deer than you can shake a stick at (I'll post a photo of Bambi and her mother another time) and even a few Elk for good measure but they are shy and by the time I'd unpacked my massive camera they had pegged it through the undergrowth their big white bums (thats how you know its an Elk) disappearing before you could say "Quick get your camera out its an E..". No recorded sightings of Black Bears but am hopeful to see more when we hit the Rockies and Vancouver Island. Other creatures that deserve a mention are the bugs - Black Flies the size of bumblebees that love the taste of human flesh and Mosquitoes that just don't quit. One word - Repellent and plenty of it... everywhere. Both Suz and I have spent days looking like we have hives or chicken pox or something more sinister. The Moose viewing cost us dearly as we were totally unprepared and I swear as the Moose sauntered into the undergrowth part of me was relieved to see the back of it so that we too could head for the refuse of the car.
