"Swamp donkey" is the name used by some Alaskans when referring to moose, and as you can see in the photo, called so for good reasons. There were a couple of branches on the way, but luckily they don't show too much. Used the Sigma lens.

Very nice capture, the backlighting works and gives the moose a nice highlighting. Funny the pintail doesn't seem to bothered by such a large beast.

Thanks. Several birds flew away from me when they saw me, but they stay very close to moose.

I definetly agree with what Dennis said about the highlights.
Just in addition, both the moose and the bird are in the frame correct, so excellent capture.
