Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge - a photo on Flickriver

            A stormy day at this special wildlife preserve.  Stormy + Alaska = most days.  Provides nice drama and keeps the air fresh and clean.  

"Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge is a dynamic landscape made up of forests, wetlands, tundra, lakes, mountains and glacial rivers bounded by the snowy peaks of the Alaska Range. This upper Tanana River valley has been called the "Tetlin Passage," because it serves as a major migratory route for birds.  116 species of birds breed on Tetlin during the short summer, when long days and warm temperatures accelerate the growth of plants, insects and other invertebrates, providing a ready source of rich foods for nesting birds."  Wikipedia 

Besides all the birds the refuge is home to all the wildlife one would expect to find in Alaska (except musk ox).  On this day though the birds and critters were hunkered down to weather the storm.  

Your visits, comments, faves and suggestions are always appreciated.
