Thanks Robb. Its a Raven (Corvus corax). They are my constant companions up here.
I actually thought I was going to pull this off Liza. He landed, I was ready, I even thought, wow King George in the background, and then.. my exposures going to be wrong, and then… he started to leave.
They are hard to capture, I have the scar to prove it Trudie.

Now that’s my kind of photo. No head.

Hi Troy,
It looks like a fantastic trip. I’m not sure what you’re referring to in your PS, whether part of your comment is missing, or your referring to some of the scenes from you Dalton Highway Post. We don’t have Fireweed (Epilobium angustifolium) but we do have River Beauty (Epilobium latifolium) which is sometimes called Dwarf Fireweed.

Tena Koe Clare,
Still a pretty cool shot! What sort of bird was that? Have a great day.
Ka kite ano,
Robb
🙂 I have taken soooooo many raven shots like that. I feel your pain!
But a great shot despite that! Seems to me this catches the spirit of those darn birds – an ever present presence but hard to capture.
