Out and About

 Litter pick up is progressing, but rather slowly as I deal with the challenges of being 80 years old.  


I have cleaned up the four miles of the Sterling Highway that I have done for years.    On the Seward Highway, my main route through the Chugach National Forest, I made it through two miles as well as the pullouts.   Long way to go to Turnagain Pass at Mile 68.


Another in a series I call Duck on a Stump.   The Queen Merganser and her royal consort.


A preening Green-winged Teal.



A female Green-winged Teal.





A pair of American Wigeons.


A pair of Common Mergansers.




A Barrow's Goldeneye drake.



A pair of Red-necked Grebes.



A Least sandpiper.

Where am I?

 I know.   I know.  I've fallen behind on the Africa Journals.


I have a good excuse:

 

 

BEFORE: 


Jerome Lake pullout along the  Seward Highway.







 


AFTER:



Plus about five miles of highway ditches before the nice weather turned nasty.
