Alaska-Lake Clark National Park continued

After yesterday's windy and stormy day, Saturday arrived with a nice sunrise here at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge. I went out again and captured the sunrisef Sunrise_HDR_ROT3486  NIKON D3S September 03, 2011Sunrise_ROT3463_HDR September 03 ,2011 and other photographers photographing it.Morning photogaphers _ROT3503 September 03, 2011 NIKON D3S

After breakfast, we traveled to Johnson River to see if we could find any bears there. No there were not any bears which was very unusual, however, found a nice Bald Eagle and some scenics untitled Bald Eagle_2_MSB_0954 September 03, 2011 NIKON D300Suntitled Johnson RiverMSB_0965 September 03, 2011 NIKON D300Sto photograph.

I have taken a picture of a gull which while I was out doing the photography thought it was a Herring gull. On processing the picture, the gull turned out to have a completely black bill and no black on the tail feathers or the wings. After looking at my bird guides I believe this was a glaucous-winged gull, untitled Glaucous-winged Gull w Mouth Open_MSB_1172 September 03, 2011 NIKON D300Swhich I caught with his mouth wide open.

Tomorrow, we will be flying out to return to Anchorage and our flights home, but if the weather is nice, will get up early and photograph the sunrise.
