Sunday afternoon we took a stroll along the boardwalk at Potter Marsh. We saw mallard ducks, a juvenile great blue heron (although its northern range includes Prince William Sound, Anchorage is uncommon ground for the GBH) , a glaucous gull, a northern harrier hawk and trumpeter swans with nearly adult-sized cygnets.
Bruce practices an interpretive wildlife presentation.
Inspecting whitewash, Bruce hypothesizes that a large raptor landed on the rail and lingered, looking for prey in the marsh grass below.

Remnants of fireweed catch the light.
The boys head for the trail.
