Coming up this Saturday ... Jim Gleason's Little People - Part 2

From WWR

Much fun being had in the land of the Tatalina. My last 3 of 4 weekends have been out there, hiking & picnicking & trying to locate a good cabin site. The highway is in much better shape than I remember it from years ago, although once you're off the highway, all bets are generally off. More later...

Can anyone identify the bird? It was huge and scared me out there, LOL!

Looks like a Spruce Grouse. Scobey (talk/contribs) 09:43, September 1, 2008 (AKDT)

It's chest was really big, like a turkey's; and it's wingspan was big, like an eagle. I think it might be a juvenile golden eagle but I'm not sure. I know it's not a grouse. Denali (talk/contribs) 15:32, September 1, 2008 (AKDT)

Gorgeous! Cater (talk/contribs) 15:45, September 1, 2008 (AKDT)

Definitely not a grouse (head and other parts way too big). My guess is probably an eagle or hawk. Hoonah (talk/contribs) 08:49, September 3, 2008 (AKDT)
