And When the Storm Breaks?!

When you are incredibly fortunate, the storm breaks at sunset and performs the magic only Mother Nature can produce. With the opening in the clouds, the pedal hits the metal to get into place. [swf]http://www.moosepeterson.com/swf_imgs/_bmp4391.swf, 585, 473 [/swf] I mean, we're talking illegal speeds because for me, a gorgeous sunset works ONLY when you have something interesting with it from the landscape. Just pretty colors in the clouds just doesn't cut it for me. On the western horizon I saw an opening in the clouds, that means a brief beam of light was going to make it through. Watchout cars...crazy Moose comin ...

Back in the Land of Tranquility

Russell Brown in Monument Valley, one of the most tranquil places on the planet. You might be saying to yourself this is an oxymoron but actually, he's a natural here. Russell was supposed to be apart of our April adventure here but he went on a trip to Mexico and actually ate something that made him miss our trip. [swf]http://www.moosepeterson.com/swf_imgs/_BMP4048.swf, 585, 473 [/swf] So we're here to make it up to him. And I've always wanted to be here in August when it's supposed to be incredibly hot with killer thunderstorms. It's not real hot but the weather is shaping up for ...

There are Three in Alaska

Wildlife isn't as clear cut as some critter ID books like to make out. This is especially true for critters not recorded or in the public eye. I've received a whole lot of emails and comments from folks that they too have photographed the Alaska Marmot. Well, just seeing a marmot in Alaska doesn't make it an Alaska Marmot. [swf]http://www.moosepeterson.com/swf_imgs/DMLMTHM0280.swf, 585, 473, [/swf] This is the marmot 99.9% of Alaskan visitors see and photograph. This is the Hoary Marmot that most photograph at Savage Rock in Denali Nat'l Park. You could also have photographed this same critter in Glacier Nat'l Park or ...

Say Hello to the Alaska Marmot

On day two we got glass on a couple of these amazing critters and on day three, spent 9hrs with them. This is what we were after on our project. What's cool about this critter? The list is a damn long one from being the longest true hibernator on the planet to probably one of the first to go extinct in the near future from climate warming. [swf]http://www.moosepeterson.com/swf_imgs/DMLMTAM0572.swf, 585, 473 [/swf] And that's why I was up there, the Alaska Marmot being part of a long tern project that started three years ago for me in AK. Now when the biologists ...
