They're pretty cool looking, I must say! I Over the years, I've seen about 20 different photos of white moose being circulated on the Internet. Those photos get sent around a lot and people keep changing the place where they are supposed to have been taken. One week, a given moose is from Bathurst, NB, then from Shelburne, NS, a month later from Newfoundland. Thus, it's difficult to know where a photo actually originated -- but very likely not Wentworth. I think that the bird Maria mentions is probably a Black-billed Magpie, suggesting that one photo at least was taken in western North America. I do recall hearing that there is some area of northern Ontario, where albinism in Moose is rather frequent, but I'm not sure how reliable that is either.
