Denali Wildlife



We saw 3 caribou not too far away (Aunt Martha caribou in the pic), a cow moose and two calves, several caribou in the distance, Dall sheep in the distance, and a willow ptarmigan.
The willow ptarmigan is Alaska's state bird. It changes colors--white in the winter and brown in the summer. This one is being some willows, but you can see it is in transition--white body brown head.
