Wednesday Watering Hole: Check In & Hangout for the Herd

Good morning, Moosekind. Don’t forget to let your peeps know where to find you.

The common Moose, Alces alces, unlike other members of the deer family, is a solitary animal that doesn’t form herds. Not so its rarer but nearest relative, Alces purplius, the Motley Moose. Though sometimes solitary, the Motley Moose herds in ever shifting groups at the local watering hole to exchange news and just pass the time.

Motley Monday Check in and Mooselaneous Musings

Good morning Motley Meese! Hope your weekend was lovely. Remember to let your peeps know where you are!

Here’s today’s Motley Monday Shot of the Week, a female Eastern Pondhawk dragonfly. Females and immature males are this happy green to blend with the grass. Males get a dusty light blue coloration when they mature. Like birds, it’s the male in most dragonfly species that are the most colorful. With Eastern Pondhawks, the females have the brighter color, but only to blend with spring grass.
