A black bear cub stares down at me from a large pine near one of my favorite trout streams.

This is the first grizzly bear I've seen. It's in Denali National Park. People with long-range binoculars, plus the view through a couple spotting scopes the park installed at this stop, verified that the little light spot my arrow is pointing to is, in fact, a grizzly bear. This is the closest view I got.

This deer ran at least a hundred yards in front of our canoe before it finally decided to get out of the river. Here it just hurdled a beaver dam.

I found this big snapping turtle crossing the road next to the headwaters of a tiny brookie stream.

Look at the hole in that thing's mouth... no wonder mergansers are a threat to trout.

I saw this porcupine cross the road behind me while I was watching from a bridge for some large trout I'd heard about. I ran back to the car for the camera and got quite close for a picture. Speed is not one of the noble porcupine's many virtues.

A whitetail doe and her fawn lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike.

A canada goose looks over some large, downy goslings.

In this "close up" of a grizzly bear laying down on an alpine hillside in Denali National Park, you can almost tell it's a bear.

These baby Canada geese are just beginning to grow their real feathers.
