My Love For Chickens!


This is a photo of one of my sister-in-laws chickens.  She has
a small flock of free range chickens in her yard.
I was in heaven taking photos of them.
I can't remember the name of this particular breed,  but he impressed
me with his fluffy cheek feathers!

Deer Sighting in Montana


While on a recent trip to Montana, I had several deer sightings.  
We have deer in Alaska, but not in my area.  
I loved seeing them!!!

Male Red-breasted Merganser


I love this birds hairstyle.  For some reason
he reminds me of the Woody Woodpecker 
cartoon character.
Beautiful duck!

A Very Tired Canadian Goose...


A single Canadian Goose on the shores of Kenai Lake.  This goose 
was very tired and was resting and warming itself up on the 
shoreline rocks.  I saw this goose feeding on young green 
shoots throughout the day.  I'm thinking it couldn't 
keep up with the rest of its flock.  I really hope  it
was able to join up with a group passing through the 
valley.  I sat with this goose for a little while 
and kept it company.

Yellowlegs Shorebird


A Yellowlegs shorebird....
This bird was busy trying to divert my attention away from his
mate.  He did a very good job.
