A short video from the Placer River in Turnagain arm, Alaska.
been working on a large topo survey that also comprised the Alaska wildlife conservation site.

This area gets some of the highest tides in the world. We do the hydro at low tide and run for high ground at high

The laser in the prism-less gun has trouble shooting with snow on the ground so I find myself shooting the feet of elk as they walk around so as to get shots of the lay of the land.

I did something similiar in Saxman, down towrds Ketchikan. Doing a route topo for a waterline, couldn't pull a distance off the ground, so I shot the yellow flowers of the skunk cabbage. They all averaged about 0.5', so they became my "rod man"! Well, done, as usual, Daryl. I'll be back in Anchor town in November, buy ya a brew if you're around!:beer:

Is that bear any good at finding corners? Looks like he can move lots of snow per swipe.

Looked like the bear was thinking - "LUNCH"

Just not sure if the birds or the camera man was on the menu.
