Winter at A Wandering Moose

    Many of you have asked me for photos of A Wandering Moose in winter.   I realize it must be hard to imagine, especially for those of you who live in the far south.  There is a calm, quietness that comes with the snow that blankets the Kenai Peninsula in Winter.  There are still a few Eagles searching for food and there are a lot of chickadees during daylight hours.  The rabbits have burrowed in for the cold winter months.  Moose are abundant, always searching for food and often times eating shrubbery.  Brown bears will come out on warmer days and coyotes and wolves can be seen traveling the frozen river.  Lynx, beaver and other small animals are always around but not often seen.  In general, wildlife is abundant here throughout the winter months.  Many people come to the Kenai in winter for snow-machining (snowmobiling to you Easterners).  Caribou Hills provides hundreds of miles of trails made just for this and many people have cabins in "the Hills" for week-end getaways.  The temperatures are cold but dressing properly for protection and comfort allows us to enjoy this winter wonderland for hours on end.  Along with snow-machining we enjoy the Tustemena 200 Dog Sled races, Winter Games, cross-country skiing and Ice Fishing.  The fun never stops on the Kenai Peninsula.
