Last Tuesday Nancy was out on the lawn again, with a large group of guests, talking about stars, and owls, and the howls of wolves. She's been a (wait for it) 'howling success' for most of the summer, with the wolves answering almost every time, but Tuesday, under a huge full moon, there was no wolf song.
"Oh well, leave your window open a bit. Perhaps they're hunting, and will howl later on." After all, what else can you say at a time like that?
And sure enough, about an hour later, the entire wolf pack lit up with the most incredible display of wolf harmony. Close? Extremely. We figure they must have been down just past the hangar area. Libia and Mark were staying in Springside cottage, and had a 'ringside' seat for this performance. Perhaps they had been hunting, and couldn't stop to answer Nancy's call, or perhaps they were sleeping, or just on the move -- whatever, they did return the call, in their own fashion.
Over the next two days, they went hiking in Algonquin Park -- and scored not one, not two but THREE bull moose! Not to mention some great views from the Park's fabled hiking trails. There were no beaver at work when they stopped to look at the beaver lodges, however!
Great story Nancy! It was a pleasure to meet you this week and we both enyoyed our conversations and the resort very much. It was sad to leave today, we are already looking forward to returning!
ReplyDeletePS. We saw another moose in the park on Friday. What a show!
