Tracks on the Beach

I am still looking for my first big sighting of a moose.  I would love to see a big bull moose with a large rack.  I have yet to anything up close.  I keep my eyes peeled everyday at Brooks hoping I will se something.  Most of my detail is spent on the beach when I am out there helping bears get to the river and visitors get on and off the plane safely.  This morning as I am traversing the beach I spot something out of the ordinary. 

Most of the time the only tracks you see are bear and human.  Once in awhile an otter show up.  But today,TODAY there were new tracks.  Tracks of a very large moose.  It had walked down the beach headed to the river.  As I stared at the tracks making sure I was seeing what I saw some visitors joined me all of looking at the ground.  The visitors were from Germany and I explained to them that they were moose tracks.  It was 7:30 in the morning and I had walked the beach at 8:00 last night so the moose had traveled through sometime in between.  Maybe someone got a picture.

I spent the day telling asking everyone on the staff if they had saw the moose.  No one had.  I asked at the visitor center if anyone sighted the moose last night.  No reports.  I swear the moose here are playing with my mind.  But they are in the area.
