I think this is the same cow-calf pair I saw and posted on June 19 but the calf has grown and it's coat is darker.

At 6:10 a.m. I found them chomping on the fireweed and had to ask them to move on, and they did. Fireweed is an important pollinator flower throughout the western mountains to northern Alaska. The moose returned this evening to the hummingbird flower meadow and I gently urged them to move out to the raspberries. They can have all the raspberry. mountain maple, alder and aspen leaves they want but stay away from the hummer flowers!

Earlier this evening we saw another cow-calf pair up the road and the calf was larger and almost as dark as the cow.
