Just a quick update for our park visitors who were concerned about the yearling moose that was seen along the river this morning not moving. One of our park rangers and a game warden went out to investigate, and found the young bull was unfortunately deceased. He appears to have died as result of complications from an abscess on his lower jaw, and the carcass was removed and disposed of by park staff. A big "thank you" to all the folks who noticed and let us know; and while it is an unfortunate occurrence, it's still a very real glimpse into the cycle of life that surrounds us in nature.
