PLATTSBURGH
CITY, NY -- 3/27/20
Two
days ago a moose was wandering around the city. This incident
reminds me of the time a bear cub visited here. I was down at the
shit water treatment plant by the lake with my camera and spotted
him. I didn't approach him, just used the telephoto end of my zoom
lens to grab a couple of shots. The little guy took off into the
brush and I kept walking, not running, to get another image. A DEC
(Department of Environmental Conservation) officer ordered me and
another photographer who also happened to be there to leave the area
because we would scare the cub.
That
was funny because the police chief at that time was driving around in
his official vehicle. He pulled up near me and asked if I had seen
the cub. Then he took off with his young daughters standing in the
front seat, chasing the cub so that his kids could get a good look. I
think a guy walking with a camera is less scary than a speeding SUV.
