Wildlife Babies IV, Week 17 in Healy
On the road near home we saw a Ptarmigan and 5 chicks. We think it was a Ptarmigan as the adult clearly had feathered feet. The mother was not happy to have chicks on both sides of the road. They would run or fly from one side to the other, but didn’t seem interested in…

Wildlife Babies III, Denali National Park
When I went back past the Park bus depot nearly 2 hours later no moose were visible. When C left work at 6:30, there were moose in the same general area.

Dry Cabin Office, Week 12 in Healy

In 24 hours I saw 3 Moose, 3 Porcupines, 2 Caribou, 2 Dall sheep, and my first Harlequin ducks. We also saw lots of Ptarmigan & at least one Spruce grouse. I like living here. The ducks were strikingly gorgeous hanging out on the thawing river.

Denali Night, Moon and Moose
It was a full moon last night, so we went into the Park when we would usually be getting ready for bed. We heard more Ptarmigan than we saw. C’s Facebook page has a video posted where you can hear them! Once the moon came up, it stayed close to the horizon, appearing to rise…

Moose Car Wash II, Week 4 in Healy
Our car washing moose brought his twin today. We watched them for over an hour as they alternated washing vehicles & eating vegetation. I love watching them! And we like the cleaner vehicles.

Moose: Alaskan Car Wash
A young, skinny moose (2 years old?) spent nearly an hour licking the road salt from our truck this morning. So much cleaner! Wish he had done a better job around the door handles though. 🙂
