Early morning moose calf

My dogs (mostly Roxy) woke me up at 3:00 am with woofing and barking. I got up and peered out all of the windows but couldn't see a thing so I told her to go lay down and quit barking. She did.....until I got back in bed. Then it started again. We played this fun game 2 or 3 times before I lost it and yelled at her. Then she only woofed off and on until 5:00 am. I know this because I was still awake and getting crankier by the second. My alarm woke me at 6:00 am. The dogs raced outside but nothing was to be found.
Until I went out to start my car (lots of frost on the windows). There was a moose laying down smack dab in front of my porch. It was just a baby but that means there's a mama nearby. I opened the door again and snapped a couple pictures. The pictures are pretty dark, but see if you can detect a baby moose laying on my lawn.

Too bad Momma Moose didn't take her calf to some less noisy place so you could sleep. I hope the calf is ok.

It was gone when I got back home. I'm sure Mama was just around the corner or laying down across the street. It was so dark I couldn't see very far at all.

Bet that was a surprise!

We use to have moose in our yard all the time when we lived in AK.
