Alaska has a lot of wildlife that we like to see, and we see frequently. Caribou are one of the critters that we rarely see here on the Kenai. We have a small herd, and occasionally see them from afar. This morning we were blessed with a special visit from a small herd right here crossing our property!! So cool!
Bull, checking me out.
The dog was barking and caught the bull’s attention, then he spotted me. He kept a watchful eye on me for a few minutes while I snapped some pics from up the drive.
A few young ones.
My photos are grainy, that ol’ bull wouldn’t let me get any closer. I didn’t get an accurate count but I think there were 8-9 altogether.
Crossing the drive, headed for the trees.
They crossed through our pit then headed off into the trees.
Hoof print.
I could safely follow along now, and the neighbor boys joined me as we went looking for them. We spotted their tracks headed into the trees…
Tracks up the embankment.
And then we spotted them through the trees before they disappeared.
Bye bye Bou!!
It was so awesome to get to see them so close. The kids got to look at them from the window, they crossed over not far from the house so the vantage point was good. I love Alaska. ❤
Alaska on my mind...

Awesome, Brandi! We have quite a few regular deer who wander through our yard pretty much every day, and have a couple of flocks of about 8 or 9 turkeys walking through, too. Last December, I think they were having a family reunion or something — I counted nearly a hundred in our side yard — maybe it was a celebration for not being on a Thanksgiving platter. 🙂
Brandi this is absolutely stunning!!! Thank you for sharing with all of us! BTW Kenai has always been an option as a baby name during our pregnancies. I dream of visiting Alaska sometime!! 😀
Thanks Whitney! Of course you know you have a hotel and private guide when you come up!
