Round Robin Photo Challenge: Wildlife

The Round Robin challenge, this time around, was to capture wildlife images. The ones I'm posting are a mixture of Alaska and New Mexico shots. This theme was suggested by Gina of Gina's Space, and by Nancy of Nancy Luvs Pix.

SOME THAT SWIM

Take a close look. You might want to click on the photo to enlarge it so you can see the detail of the face of this spawning salmon, in Sheep Creek, near Juneau, Alaska. He's a handsome fellow, isn't he?!

A whale tail! This was taken near the entrance to Tracy Arm Fjord, in Juneau.

These sealions are lounging on this buoy (click to enlarge and see them better). Notice the glacier, shining through the mist, in the upper right corner.

SOME THAT FLY

Sandhill Craines in the morning sky, at Bosque del Apache, New Mexico.

A pair of Sandhill Craines on the ground.

Scads of Snow Geese above a field in Bosque del Apache.

A bald eagle, near the Shrine of St. Therese, Juneau.

Ducks enjoying the early morning sun, in a pond near the Rio Grande River.

AND ONE THAT CREEPS

These lizards move FAST. It's hard to catch one sitting still. This one was basking in the sun, on a headstone, in an old cemetery that I visited.
