Canada Geese

Canada Geese (Branta Canadensis) fly over Eagle Beach at low tide. The Eagle Beach State Recreation Area is located approximately 28.7 miles north of downtown Juneau. The snow-covered peaks, in the background, are a few of the mountains within the Chilkat Mountain Range.

Red Squirrel

Red Squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) live throughout most of Alaska. They forage and nest in coniferous forests. Their diet primarily consists of spruce cone seeds, willow seeds, berries, bugs, and fungi. They make a loud, warning chatter when alarmed.
This squirrel has been frequenting our yard all spring, and enjoying a feast of seeds from the Sitka Spruce. A couple weeks ago, I observed it carrying lichen and very small twigs up one of the large spruce. They have their young in late May and early June.
