Fall is creeping in

Sorry its been so long! The only weather we have had in Portage valley was rain, rain, and more rain! We did have a nice weather day a few days ago but they are all blending together with all this rain.

We, the only 2 interns left, have been in charge of feeding the 3 brown bears for the past few days. Here is what a typical days worth of food looks like...

Each bear gets a bucket full of Dog Food and Salmon. Each bucket totals at about 30 pounds!

On August 30th here is what the sunset looked like driving back from Anchorage.

Here is that 1 sunny days we had about 5 days ago....

The newest addition to the center! We got 2 lynx in about 2 weeks ago, This is Venetie and her sister is Kaltag. They are 7 year old lynx that we rescued from a forest fire as kittens. They had severe burns on their paws and ears. They also had a brother who actually did not surive because he was so badly burned. Anyways, the cats went to the Anchorage zoo until we were ready for them. One thing led to another and 7 years later we finally got them back!
