Ok so today we would usually feed the cubs first thing; However, Jordan called in today and something in his car was frozen so he was not able to make it in to work today. So I just asked Matt to go in with me as I fed them.
Everything went smooth. Matt also asked if anyone had shown me how to use the four wheeler.
He explained everything to me and said I could use it whenever I needed it! So naturally I went four wheeling right after he showed me....don't worry it was all for the animals....
I went exploring and even saw 2 bald eagles perched in a tree. I still cannot get over the wildlife that I see everyday!
Later, I decided that chicken coop needed cleaning badly! Well I figured out why no one has cleaned it in a while....
You see up in Alaska it is a little chilly, so the ground tends to freeze. Rakes do not really work up here. I grabbed the rake and as soon as I tried using it I quickly learned that even the hay is frozen in one big lump.
So I then took a little shovel to the ground and started jabbing the ground to pry the nastiness up.
So eventually I figured out the technique, after 2 or 3 different tools.
In the end there should be 6 happy chickens in that coop! Also, I was told that I can take any eggs that I want. The chickens don't really lay that many eggs but, boy when they do those are some good eggs! So guess what's for dinner tonight....2 eggs maybe I will make another fried egg sandwhich...mmmmmm
Other than that just the typical tasks of feeding Adonis (Bald Eagle) salmon, and the 2 owls a couple of rats....yummy I know...
Anyways until tomorrow the Lower 48.....
Goodnight!
