Looking for Mom

This spring calf moose was alone and we wondered where mom was. He ran around a little pasture close to the house. The calf really didn't seem afraid of us but at the same time in obvious distress - we could hear him crying and making baby talk. At one point the moose was within thirty feet of the house when I took a photo. During this event we heard a coyote howling and wondered if the predator hadn't separated the calf from his mom. Eventually the cow did show up and that little calf moose ran as fast as he could to reach her.
