Radio-collared moose wanders into Duluth yard

Dawn Bloom had a nice surprise in her yard over the weekend: a moose, which she’s been waiting to see since she moved to the Northland eight years ago. “My husband, Steve, and I have made several trips to Michigan and Canada, including the entire Lake Superior Circle Tour, and each time we’ve hoped to see a moose, but never have,” Bloom said Tuesday. “All I’ve ever wanted to do is see a moose, and there you go: It’s in your own backyard, right?” But this scruffy adult cow moose isn’t just any ungulate visitor. She’s moose No. 4073, part of a long-term study on Minnesota’s dwindling moose population.
