At First Sight…

Portrait of a mated pair of Sandhill Cranes facing each other in a field of flowers somewhere along the Alaska-Canada Highway... a Valentine's Card, #love.
At First Sight… We came upon this pair of Sandhill Cranes somewhere along the Al-Can – the Alaska-Canada Highway – on a drive north to Alaska. I’m always reminded of my first date with Barbra… the pink jeans she wore. I like the way the male crane’s beak is hanging open… a proper response.
Happy Valentine’s Day – for all you love

Those Eyes: Young Stone Sheep Ram Along the Al-Can Highway

Check for Stone Sheep in mountainous areas along Alaska-Canada highway in Northern BC and Yukon Territory. The big rams sport impressive curling horns, but the young males, females and lambs are cool, too. Those eyes. July 12, 2012

First and Ten: Bison Along the Al-Can Highway

First and Ten – there are several places along the Alaska-Canada highway where Bison are likely to be encountered. Things can get heated! By the time this multi-bull fight was over, there were tufts of hair on the road and a wet patch of blood on one of the bull’s flanks.
