Fran had a great train ride and cruise, despite having to to stand for the whole train ride to avoid the nausea of sitting back to the direction of travel and not being allowed out on deck except in special circumstances. She did get some good shots of sea otters, glaciers and baby eagles. That said, I could sense that she was a little jealous of my close encounter of the moose kind. We decided to go back to Kincaid Park to see if more moose would show themselves. We wandered the trails for an hour, but with only sightings of moose poop and moose prints. Fortunately, we still had to find our way out of the maze of trails - another 30 minutes. Alas, no moose. Within a minute of driving out of the car park, there are two moose - mother and calf - munching in the field. We stop and take many photos.
After the moose, we went to Potters Marsh, renowned for it's variety of birds. Upon arriving, we were skeptical. However, it did not disappoint. Eagles catching fish, kingfishers and best of all, watching a northern harrier hunting. Fran has the photos, I have the visual memories.
After the birding, we decide to take it easy, do laundry, recharge the batteries, etc. Tomorrow, we head to Homer with plans to hit the Marsh early.
