SE Alaska: July, 2018




Non-breeding adult male Common Merganser





Common Raven





One of the most intelligent of all birds.





They engage in seemingly playful acts such as yanking the tails of cats and dogs.  This may account for the fact that American Indian folklore often portrays them as tricksters.





Alaskans are serious about wanting people to keep their dogs on leashes when on hiking trails.  They offer free leashes as well as poop bags.

Adult Hoary Marmot





“Hoary” means gray-haired





They are known for their shrill whistling calls.
