Atusa


Fascinating birds to watch, full of mischief and a love of play. Sacred to the native peoples of Alaska.

Another fascinating creature to study. Watching an entire pack frolicking on a frozen pond north of the Yukon River is an event not to be forgotten.

A rescue dog from an Eskmo village in Alaska. Smartest dog I ever saw!
