Talk about getting up close and personal. You don't get much closer to a moose than this.

Moose in Central New York

Moose aren't uncommon in the Adirondacks but seeing one in Central New York is rare. This time of year they are wandering further than normal during the breeding season, or rut.

The community came out to see a moose hanging out at the park in Westernville, New York. It traveled by the fire department onto the soccer field where it didn't seem to mind all the attention.

Report Moose

If you see a moose, you're asked to report it to the New York Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
