Top of the pass visitor
While switching engines at White Pass on the Alaska-Yukon Territory border in May, we were entertained by this visitor walking toward us on the snow.
I found later that this is probably a white-tailed ptarmigan or snow grouse?

Our turn-around point on the railroad tour north of Skagway, Alaska.
Onward to the Yukon
Heading north to Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory on the White Pass & Yukon Route railway out of Skagway, Alaska. The narrow gauge rail follows the route used by gold rushers in the late 1890s.
Mallard Convoy
A family of mallards chose to skoot away from us when we came upon them in an inlet on a nearby pond.
Someone’s looking at me
Ever get the feeling that someone is looking at you? We came upon this barred owl on our local trail. We spotted him ahead of us flying from the ground up to this tree branch. He then sat there until we got too close and he flew off.
On the way to Whitehorse
Heading north from Skagway, Alaska, toward Whitehorse, Yukon province on the White Pass & Yukon railroad.
