All Alaskan adventures should include gazing at the unique Alaskan wildlife...like this deer we spotted on Day 2 of our trip. Yes, I know, it's hard to see and it's a deer...but it's an Alaskan deer. We had to include it!
We, of course, hoped to see whales in Alaska. But despite our efforts of staring out at the ocean often, this mural beheld the only whales we saw. We did see a couple sea lions! And fortunately many others in our party did get to see whales.
In Alaska Bald Eagles are plentiful. See them holding a council down below?
We mustn't leave out our squishy friend Mr. Jellyfish:
Here's Levi proudly showing off his eagle feather...unfortunately, it's illegal to keep eagle feathers as one kind shopowner informed us. So the feather was placed carefully on the cement...for another non-Alaskan to discover I'm sure.
Here's my dad proudly showing off his sea urchin shell. Those shells were spread all over the place by hungry birds!
I know we have deer in Washington, but how often do you get to see a mama deer with twin fawns walking around? (Oh and if you click on the picture you can see a giant crab above the mama's neck...yep, wildlife!)
More eagles hanging out on the rocky beach. The brown eagle is a juvenile. They get their "baldness" with age just like humans. lol!
Eagles on poles...very picturesque:
In conclusion, Alaska really was full of wildlife...like this half-eaten fish Levi discovered on the dock.
Tune in next time for more Alaska fun!
