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
I am working for Shenandoah National Park 16 hours per week until they hire a new Recreational Fees Budget Analyst. Thanks to a cell phone booster & mobile hotspot on my phone I have been able to work remotely since we arrived in Healy. The lack of running water isn’t a big deal. The only…

Moose Crossing Lake

We had zero success fishing at Otto Lake this evening. We headed to the nearby lake in a cold drizzle. For the first few hours it stayed overcast and drizzled. We didn’t get a single bite. We saw lots of birds & 2 moose at a distance which was neat. Then the sun came out,…

Wildlife Babies II, Denali National Park

I saw tiny twin moose calves today! A first for this year. Today’s mother moose did NOT want her babies out in the open. So the above photo is from last year with a less cautious mother. This mom wanted a drink, but kept coming back whenever her calves tried to leave cover to follow…

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. 🙂

In the Yard, Week 2 in Healy

Yesterday evening I could say I saw a moose while I was in the yard. But the moose wasn’t within the property line. Today moose are in the yard as I type. Yearling twins, I think. I heard the screen door move even though it isn’t windy. Was someone at the door? Yep!
