Lophocampa Maculata Caterpillar
This colorful caterpillar wasn't poisonous, but its hairs could be irritating. We did not touch it, but merely admired its beauty.

Salmon Ran Upstream
We found a small stream where the salmon had gathered for their spawning run. I saw many, many salmon on that trip: Leaping in coves; swimming upstream; and jumping up a fish ladder.

Juvenile Pacific Wren
It took quite a while for me to photograph this tiny, fast moving little bird. t is a juvenile Pacific Wren that has retained it's bright yellow gape typical of nestlings. This makes it easier for parents to feed them. As it grows a little older, it will lose that wide, brightly colored mouth and achieve an adult's bill.

Raven On Branch
The Ravens I saw in Alaska seemed huge when seen up close. Sadly, I only got a few usable photos of this great bird, because they only came close when I didn't have a camera. Go figure. This is one of my rare photos of a Common Raven in Alaska.
