Wildlife SIG Outing - Thu Aug 23 @5:15am
The August Wildlife SIG outing will be to Brainard Lake to hopefully photograph Moose. There are several large Bulls that come down to the lake pretty much every morning to feed on the willows and sometimes the submerged vegetation in the lake. This area draws a lot of visitors (especially on weekends) and there is limited parking where the Moose typically show up. So, this will be a weekday outing. My experience has been that the Moose come down out of the surrounding forest shortly after sunrise and return to the forest a couple hours later. As for lenses, the Moose can be anywhere from a few feet away (literally) to 100 yds.+ so I have a couple of lenses with me. It is roughly a 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hour drive to Brainard Lake. For carpooling, meet at the north east corner of the Harmony Rd. Transportation Ctr at 5:15 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 23. There is an entrance fee for the Brainard Lake area which is covered by the federal senior or all agency passes. As always, please let me know if you will be attending so no one gets left behind. - Guy
