Sunrise in Kodiak...I wish. This is a full moon which is almost as bright as the sun but only almost....
We found a bear foot print in the snow and a Devin print next to it.....now you can imagine how big those bears are..!

More bald eagle pictures....they seem to be everywhere we look. Maybe it's because the trees
are not green and they are much easier to spot.

My very first Kodiak bear I was the only person at the river when he started coming out of the brush. The first 10 pictures or so are all blurry because I was shaking so bad.....when more people showed up I figured I'll get closer, too since I was sure I could outrun some of the older ladies.
How awesome is he.......Devin will be so mad that he missed this. I was at home and just had this feeling that today was the day.
This is a very big animal and I'm not so sure I'd want to see one while hiking......at this point my car is very close behind me with the engine running and the door open.
Every time I zoomed in I scared myself about how close I was to this critter. This is a young bear and they do get bigger....hard to imagine.
He did catch a Salmon and was eating it for a while....I watched him for over and hour and froze half to death...it was worth it.
How much better could it get??? Well, there is a bald eagle sitting on the rock..........ONLY IN KODIAK!!!!!!

Hello all, as you can see it is getting a little colder here. It is so much fun to drive down a country road without street lights when it is totally icy.....NOT..... but it sure looks pretty.
We heard that some of the bears had been sighted nearby but we seem to miss them every time we go out "bear hunting" with our camera. The closest we got is the sign........I really think that Kodiak bears are avoiding us at all cost.
We are not quite sure if this is a Golden Eagle or a juvenile Bald Eagle. There were several of them and could be either.
More Bald Eagle pictures. They seem to be everywhere this time of the year.
Even though we did not find a bear, we did get to see a fox. He was running across the road in front of us. Isn't he cute? He had blue big eyes and just kept looking at us.
Finally he or she decided to walk away......only in Kodiak.
