This Blue Footed Booby mom has one big fuzzy chick!
Wildlife Wednesday Black bear cubs
Ok photographically this is pretty soft…but this bear family was WAY up in the cliffs about 300yds from shore. It was the only cubs we saw at Lake Skilak in AK.
One of these seals is not like the other…
This sand bar was FILLED with seals. All on shore were white/brown but one lil juvenile in the water was grey with black spots.
Cuteness
Sea otters are constantly cleaning. This is needed to keep their fur clean and allow air pockets to keep them warm.
Look at those claws!
AND all those salmon! These brown bears really didn’t take much notice of us humans…so it’s easy to get complacent. But one swipe of those paws–yikes!
Merganzer Mama
These adorable chicks probably wont make it. All of the rest of the younglings are just starting to fly. They need to be able to fly by end of August or they wont make it ahead of the snow.
