Two Wolves + Camp Update!

The Forest Has Eyes!  ...Two Wolves.

Hallo Bay Bear Camp
Two Wolves!
- - -
Alaska Department of Fish and Game
Species:  WOLF  Canis Lupus


CAMP UPDATE:
There have been wolves out and about during the day, but they tend to keep their distance (as you can see from the photo above).  There haven't been many momma bears around until today - and we now have cubs at the creek this morning!  Yes, we're excited about it, too.  The Eaglets are still hanging out around their home perch of Rock Island.  We haven't seen them fishing, but then they're probably doing it in a spot we're not watching...you know how birds can be!  You'll like this:  we've a pair of great horned owls along the creek and we'll try to get some photos of them soon.  Oh, and Brad has a friendly vole that he's named Vladimir. The wildflowers are in bloom and it is absolutely beautiful.

  1. Sometime within the past two weeks, I was on a day trip to view bears at Hallo Bay. Something in particular disturbed me, and that is the sight of a wild wolf approaching a group of lunch-eaters near the shore of a creek where several huge brownies were napping. The wolf approached the humans, it appeared she came for a handout but was not offered food; after a short time she ambled off. She came across the field. Our guide said, "maybe he'll come back around when we take out our lunches."


    I see this as the beginning of the end. It saddened me.
