We took a hike at Wickersham to try to escape a gray snowy day in Fairbanks. The clouds were persistent though, and we still were stuck in the snow. The tundra landscape was mysterious and gloomy in the snow and cloud. We found a big flock of redpolls and grosbeaks! Below, a redpoll eating from the cones in a spruce tree.
Aggressive-looking ice crystals formed around forbs and grasses
We found some of last years blueberries and cranberries in the patches where snow had melted away - snack time!
Visibility came and went as clouds shifted over the ridge line
