Day 294: The Otters!

Monday, October 20, 2014

We passed a big raft of Otters.  I think they were trying to form a Conga line… The light was bad, but the otters were pretty good. I am not sure what Smiley is laughing about… Maybe it is Mom. One of them,anyway. She always said she wanted to come back as an Otter! “Nom, […]

Day 293: The Eagles!

Monday, October 20, 2014

Bald eagles abound in Alaska.  We saw all of these in about a one mile stretch over about 20 to 30 minutes… An immature Bald Eagle. Siblings and a parent.  I have never seen a Bald Eagle roost on the ground like that before. As I have mentioned previously, some of the salmon are running. […]

Day 264

Monday, September 29, 2014

One last calving/ice fall…for now… To get an idea of the scale, there are two large seagulls at the base of the fall.  In the closeup below the chunk of ice just above them is the size of a small car… ~Curtis in Alaska! {!-{>
