Just another one of our Video's.

A recent Trip to Gros Morne.

A recent Video we made.

Recently spent a few days on the Northern Peninsula Hiking. A few moments of it here.

 

I have made many Springtime trips to Gros Morne Park just to capture a few Moose photos such as the one above. Some mornings I have counted as high as 80 Moose along the roadside from the park entrance to Rock Harbor.I do hope when the Cull starts there that only residents of that area get to benefit from extra permits.

Moose cull set for national parks in N.L. 

Moose will soon be killed in two national parks in Newfoundland, with officials saying the population of the animals is destroying forests and habitat for other species.
Parks Canada is expected to outline more details on Wednesday of the cull that will be allowed later this year at Gros Morne National Park in western Newfoundland, and Terra Nova National Park in eastern Newfoundland.

We traveled to the Great Northern Peninsula this past weekend and captured a bit of it on Video.

Recently drove through Gros Morne and shot a bit of Video.

A few Photos and Video from a recent early morning run into Gros Morne.

First time trying a Video using Digital editing.I should of improved the quality before I uploaded to Youtube. I'm sure things will improve as I experiment more.

Highly-visible Paint.

It sure was "highly visible red paint" they used on the caribou during the recent census survey. I captured this shot on the Viking Trail just North of Rocky Harbor yesterday. If a person didn't know what happened, i would suspect they would of thought the animal was injured. I wonder is it more easily spotted by a predator now? Bear,coyote?

Few photos i captured in the area yesterday.

Phase one of the census for caribou populations found on the northern Peninsula including the Gregory Plateau, Gros Morne, St. Anthony, Hodges Hills and Hampton Downs herds are out.

An estimate of 10,400 caribou has been announced after caribou from the herds had been marked using a so called highly visible red paint. A ratio of marked animals to unmarked animals was used in the estimation technique and another will be used in June when the caribou herds return to their calving grounds.

Hopefully in the next 48 hours depending on weather conditions i'll be traveling to Gros Morne. I do this every year to take a few shots of the wildlife in the area. I enjoy my little trips and it'll be far from a scientific outing but it's great to know that i'm sure to see some when i get there. Besides the Caribou that area has probably the highest Moose density in the world with about 8,000 moose roaming in the park area. The camera batteries are charged, cameras stored and the first stop will be Big Stop, Deer Lake Irving to sip a coffee before daylight Monday morning.
