THOSE HUMANS ARE DISTRIBUTIN MY MEAL!—At first this Bull Moose was quietly enjoying his meal at Armstong Meadows, which is approximately six miles North of Nespelem. People who noticed this photographer taking pictures of the Moose started stopping on Highway 155 to get a better look at the Moose. After awhile the Moose must have noticed all the humans watching him, so he took off and went up the hill and disappeared! Last year there was very little water present at Armstrong Meadows. This year a pond (lake?) covers Armstrong Meadows. During the Spring you could see Mother ducks and their little ones making good use of the pond!
