Dall Sheep in Denali National Park.

This golden eagle is soaring through Denali National Park.

Every time I drive past the Delta River overlooks on the Richardson Highway southwest of Fairbanks, I look for the wild bison that supposedly calve in that area. I've never seen them until this trip, when a few dozen were milling around out in the open valley next to the big glacial river. I snapped this picture through my spotting scope.

This is a pretty cool silhouette of a bald eagle carrying some food, even though it isn't terribly well-focused or well-lit. I was actually driving when I took it (though it was on a no-traffic campground driveway, so it wasn't unsafe) and the eagle swooped into the roadway right in front of me, then flew around to the side and gave me this profile.

Several frightened mergansers scoot away from the canoe.
