Aren't all the slopes in Alaska in the North?
LOL, most of them would be South facing, however. ;)

Out in the middle of no where there was a small white spot in the creek. Took some digging but it was a old texaco sign.

That rattler is going to make a nice belt
The butchered out pronghorn carcass has caught the attention of some Red-tailed Hawks.

Great picture :)
Thanks. It's blurry because I shot handheld through a window from ~120 yards away. I tried sneaking around the house to get an unobstructed picture but they are wary and took off. I moved the carcass out farther from the trees so they'd be more comfortable approaching it. In the past I've had Red-tails feed on elk scraps off the tray feeder about 20 feet from the dining room window.
Red-tailed Hawks are open country soaring birds and the most numerous and widespread hawk in North America. They average a 49 inch wingspan and weigh 2.4 lbs.
This morning we got a rare view of a Northern Goshawk that stopped by the river in front of the cabin. I'm lucky to see Goshawks maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Goshawks are the largest Accipiter, long tailed forest flying hawks that hunt birds and rodents in the trees. They mainly hunt grouse, rabbits, and squirrels. Goshawks average a 41 inch wingspan and weigh 2.1 lbs.
This photo was also shot through a window but at about 35 feet.
