"The Long-tailed Duck has an unusual pattern and timing to molting its feathers. Technically, the feathers it wears in winter are its "breeding" plumage. In the spring, it molts into what is technically the "nonbreeding" plumage, and it wears this all summer. Most ducks molt into nonbreeding plumage for only a brief period on late summer."

When planning the trip to Alaska, I really wanted an image of a bald eagle perched in front of the mountains. Cliché, maybe, but I wanted it. I was so happy when we came upon this eagle on Day 1.

Also known as an Ermine or Stoat. Regardless of what you call it, they're super cute yet fierce and really freaking fast. This was a difficult species to catch in the frame.
