Today I’ll finish up our last day at Tombstone Territorial park, and hence on the Dempster highway, with miscellaneous pictures taken that day, which would have been August 28th, 2011
Here is another Mountain, or Alpine Harebell picture – this one taken by Ernie – his little old Panasonic camera does take great macro shots!
This is the start of the Klondike trail…you can branch off and do a loop which is what I’m going to do, or you can walk about as far as you want to back up into the mountains…
all the bushes were absolutely alive with birds…but photographing them was another thing! Here was an Orange-crowned Warbler on the left and a Boreal Chickadee on the right…
Shantz was still with us…blending into the fall colours very nicely…
while April preferred to blend into the bed – we’re still dealing with eye issues here…
Speaking of blending in….here is another of those Orange-crowned Warblers…
this one, a pretty obvious ‘Ruby crowned Kinglet’ – you can even see the ‘ruby’
another Orange-crowned Warbler – there were lots!!!
a slate coloured Dark-eyed Junco – not being terribly co-operative…in fact none of the birds were terribly co-operative…too busy preparing to migrate I imagine…
a Wilson Warbler here…
and up over the ridge – another type of ‘bird’ entirely! – Yup they have those things up here too.
back to the real birds – Yellow-rump Warblers…
and another attempt at a Boreal Chickadee…
Evening…and Ernie is preparing to head out for a walk with Shantz…
not much later a little shower moved in…
next a down pour!
ending with a rainbow! And of course they got soaked.
Tomorrow we’ll be heading to Dawson City and then starting south…
