Mountain Goat, Glacier Bay National Park, AK #3424

Mountain Goat, Glacier Bay National Park, AK #3424

My favorite place to photograph mountain goats is Gloomy Knob in Glacier Bay National Park. The goats hang out here because this massive, incredibility steep ridge rises over 1,000 feet above of the ocean and is inhospitable to predators. In the spring and early summer the goats raise their ...
Willow Ptarmigan, Denali National Park, Alaska #3423

Willow Ptarmigan, Denali National Park, Alaska #3423

The willow ptarmigan is Alaska’s state bird and one of my favorite birds. Instead of migrating south for the winter, ptarmigans stay in Alaska. This bird is well adapted to survive the Alaska winter. Its feet are covered in feathers for insulation and act like snowshoes, keeping the bird on ...

Black-tailed Deer, Pack Creek, Admiralty Island, AK#3420

I love photographing wildlife at the Pack Creek Bear Viewing Area on Admiralty Island, which is just a short 30-minute float plane ride from Juneau, Alaska. A Sitka black-tailed deer walks along the lush wetlands at the edge of the high tideline. I took this image standing on the viewing ...
