Wildlife

I've decided to change gears with the blog from chronological to a more topical approach for now since I started these postings a week or so into our trip north.

We visited the Calgary zoo with Richard - great zoo sponsored by various gas and oil companies. Three pictures are from the zoo, which are obvious while the rest were view from the truck as we went from Calgary through Banff and north through Jasper park. The bison were seen in Northern BC. (video posted)Caribou were only 2 hours drive south of Ft. McPherson along with three silver back bears. The silver back bear are the two top blurry pictures.

An elder in Tsiigehtchic where I work one day per week told me on Thursday that the berries have fallen too quickly and the animals are starving on the land. The Porcupine caribou herd which are typically out late October are already here - times are changing.
