Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado offers some prime habitat for the Shiras moose. I remember
my first trip to the park with my new high-powered camera. I was parked in a small parking lot next
to a beautiful meadow. A big bull moose made his way out of the willows and the shutters were

broke into a playful gallop, kicking his heels and cavorting with the cows as they slipped back into
the willows. I`ve never seen such grace in a seemingly ungainly animal
