More Wildlife from Cold Bay

Gulls gather at the mouth of Russell Creek to catch the eggs from spawning salmon.

















Where there are salmon there are bears and if you can't see them fishing or among the alders and walking down the road.................
















they usually leave some pretty obvious sign they are in the neighborhood!!

















There are a number of bird species here, a hunter or bird watchers paradise!
























And then the occasional bear pops its head up in the tundra and you get to watch some frolicking and fishing live and up close!!

















What an awesome sight to be able to watch this in person and safely from in side the van!!
