Grizzly Bear | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011

Even though this picture is not the quality I would normally use it is still one of my favorites. It was taken one windy, overcast day with very poor lighting. This is a Barren-Ground Grizzly crossing the tundra on the North Slope between the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean. These bears living on the North Slope are at the absolute northern most limit of their range. This bear was only about 70 miles south of the Arctic Ocean and may spend part of the summer along the coast where it could very well cross paths with a Polar Bear. | MC42-0314

Red Fox – Pup | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011

We found this Red Fox den site quite by accident when we pulled off the Haul Road to look for musk ox.The den was not that far off the edge of the road, and if you remained still, the young foxes would come out of their den to watch us. They seemed as curious of us as we were of them. |MC42-0179

Red Fox – Pup’s | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011

There were 5 young Red Foxes in this den that were 6 or 8 weeks old. We did not see either one of the adults which, I assume, were kept very busy hunting to feed these guys. |MC43-0128

Grizzly Bear | Atigun Pass, Alaska | June, 2011

This is a Barren-Ground Grizzly crossing the tundra on the North Slope between the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean. This bear is at the northern limit of where it is possible for it to live. Living this far north will force it to hibernate for 6 to 7 months each winter. The picture certainly does not do it justice. It was a drop dead beautiful bear. |MC42-0306

Brown Bear – Cub | Haines, Alaska | June, 2010

This is 1 of 3 Brown Bear Cubs and their mother that we watched for quite some time as they feed on dandelion stems along the coast outside Haines, Alaska. |MC46-0281

Brown Bear – Female | Haines, Alaska | June, 2011

This female Brown Bear had 3 cubs with her that were 1 year old. She appeared to be quite old and we could not help but wonder how many cubs she had raised in her lifetime. |MC46-0266
