Speaking of moths, I just went to go down the hall to relieve myself and got accosted before I got to the bathroom. A very large moth, on it's way to the only light in the house, smacked me on the arm at warp speed. man, that hurt.(me) Moth kept right on going and smacked into the light cover(glass) and it sounded like someone through a rock at it, I mean, it was loud "ding!" didn't see the moth again.

I found this nice tree frog while cleaning out my kayaks.
I believe it's Cope's Gray Tree Frog (Hyla chrysoscelis)

Looks like a wonderful spot. Iowa is so flat.

Ten years ago while working at the Parc de la Gaspésie, there was about 2-2.5 moose by km², fews kilometer from here at the Reserve de Matane is the higher density of moose in Québec with 5 moose /km². So around here there is to much moose without enough predator.

I don't have time this fall, but next year I will start bow hunting, moose meat is so good .

Otherwise into the Parc the la Gaspesie is the only place where we can find the Virginia deer, moose and caribou on the same territory (the forest caribou in Gaspesie are the only one left south of St-Lawrence River, they are genetically distinct from the northern caribou, but sadly they are endangered (small population with to much predation from coyotes and black bears))
