Seward, Alaska
A bit of blue sky encouraged
me to head next to Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park. The cottonwoods
blazed gold and yellow, both on the trees and on the ground. Sunlight speckled
the blue glacial ice; silt-laden brown water poured out beneath the glacier’s
toe and rumbled down into the outwash stream in busy braids.
High on the mountainside, I
spied two Black Bears peacefully grazing in the red and gold carpet. One BALD
EAGLE, adult, cruised along the mountain; I'm not sure what it was seeking. Six
other BALD EAGLES spiraled overhead, around and around in lazy loops. Closer to
earth, a cheery BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEE commented on the splendid afternoon from
its perch in the alders.
I totally agreed, so glad I
could so easily visit my national park on such a beautiful fall afternoon!
Happy Birding!
