Suzanne Hebert spotted a cow and calf moose around 7 a.m. Wednesday at the St. Francis North Maine Woods checkpoint.
Hebert said she has been working for North Maine Woods since 2020.
“I love working here,” she said. “I get to see all kinds of wildlife — deer, moose, fox, squirrels and all types of birds.”
The tiny calf, still wobbly while walking, was recently born.
Moose breed in late September and early October. Cows usually give birth to one or two calves in May, and the young remain with their mother for about a year before being driven off ahead of the next calving season.
Cow moose may produce their first calf at age 2, though most do not give birth until age 3.
