A Cackling(Lesser) Canada Goose, maybe a sbsp's minima as it was very small. These odd pale color phase geese seemed to show up more regularly in the Anchorage area until a few years ago. The first one I photographed was in 1999, although I had seen them a few years before that. I then saw them almost every year until 2009. This bird featured here was shot in 2006.  #423.0036. 1x2 ratio format.

Back from another nighttime trip on the Icefields Parkway. Fantastic night out with stars by the millions, warm temperatures and very little wind.

Here's the first image, showing Howse Peak and Mount Chephren under star-filled skies.
