While in Alaska we went several places we had never been before. First it was to Girdwood, home of the Alyeska Resort where Tommy Moe did a lot of skiing and found his way into the Olympics. We had lunch at the Bake Shop and then traveled further south on the highway to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. The Center takes orphaned or injured creatures, nurses them back to health and releases them back to their natural setting if possible. Mukluk (musk ox), Hugo (grizzly bear), Venetie (lynx) and Adonis (bald eagle) are permanent residents. This is Adonis who was shot and lost one wing. He won't be released but instead has the duty of watching over the daily happenings at the Center. He was mighty handsome.
Seemed a good choice of images for Veterans Day.
