Wildlife viewing

6/27/10
We left Tetsa Campground headed for Watson Lake and just as we were pulling out on the highway we saw a magnificent wolf, trotting along a trail just behind our camp. On the drive we saw caribou, a young bull moose, Forrest Bison (buffalo), Stone Sheep, and a pair of woodchuck. Stopped at Liard Hot Springs to hike and look at the wetland terrian. The Alpha pool was too hot for me but the Beta pool just right to soak my sore knees. Saw a Solitary Sandpiper, and heard a Varied Thrush.
Found an old gravel pit and made it home for the night. Just about 21:30 Bosco took his dog outside and spotted a large young black bear boar grazing the hill side 100 yards from the trailer. He called me to come out and see and the bear rolled over on his butt and sat watching us watch him.
