Moose On Island Attracts Crowd

BRUNSWICK (NEWS CENTER) -- Moose watchers don't have to go deep into the woods to see one. They just have to drive down Route 1 on the Brunswick-Topsham line. The moose is on an island in the Androscoggin River.

Wardens believe the moose went over the dam and washed up on the island. They plan to leave it there until the water on the river goes down -- at which time the animal will hopefully get back to dry land on its own.

The moose is causing quite a spectacle. Route 1 winds along the edge of the river, and passing motorists have a good view of the animal.
