Seward 2006 Christmas Bird Count

Ron Niebrugge January 15, 2007 Alaska, Denali, Photos, Travel 4 Comments

This Rock Ptarmigan was photographed in Denali National Park. I have included it here only because I thought it was a nice winter bird photo, not becuase it was seen in Seward, Alaska. I have seen numerous Ptarmigain around Seward, but usually Willow Ptarmigain.

If my birding ability could ski, it would just now be venturing onto the intermediate blue square slopes, but I am an eager learner. Read More

Snowshoeing in Turnagain Pass

Ron Niebrugge January 7, 2007 Alaska, Chugach, Photos, Travel Leave a Comment

About a week ago I wrote of the beautiful snow in Turnagain Pass, and mentioned I would be heading there with my snowshoes on the next nice day. Well yesterday was that day. It was a beautiful – well except for the 16 degrees below zero temperature. I don’t know how much snow is up there, but the Alyeska Ski Resort not far away received 24 feet of snow in December. I’m sure Turnagain Pass received its fair share. Read More
