alaska–wildlife

 

Everywhere we went during our weeklong visit in Alaska, we were on the lookout . . . for moose, bears, Dall sheep, fish, eagles and all kinds of other birds.  We had successful sightings of all but the bears . . . deep sigh of relief.  Although the animals were just doing what they do, we were always surprised when we encountered them in their natural habitat.  As long as we didn’t get too close, they were quite cooperative about letting us take their pictures.

  2. Great photos! I can't believe how many moose you saw! I'm still on the lookout for them here. I have yet to see one. :(
