Welcome to September

A half-way decent day yesterday.  Alison and I walked the trails near Dredge Lake.  Lots of warblers and chickadees and a half-dozen or so American Widgeons on Chrystal Lake.

Townsend's Warbler

After our walk we motored over to the Mendenhall Glacier to check-out the bear scene.  Lots of tourists.  One bear.  And a rangerette in the  person of my old friend Annie McLean.  She has really enjoyed working the visitors' center this season.  She said they have a dozen regular yogi types working the salmon stream including cubs and a number of two year olds.   Everyone on good behaviour thus far...

So much for the dry weather, however.  It is raining this morning.  Beginning to look distinctly fall-like.  September 1st.  Yikes!  Where did the summer go?

In other news, I continue to wait for news on the appraisal of my (hopefully) new home.
