We only stayed at the Kiosk Campground for two nights, so we didn’t have an opportunity to see a lot of wildlife. Sometimes we feel if we don’t see a moose or deer then we haven’t seen wildlife, but there is life all around us.

Canada Geese at the teenager stage, in front of our campsite. The first one I saw I didn’t realize it was a Canada Goose because it lack the darker colouring on its head.
