Birding in Hope, Alaska

June 21, 2023

A friend and I drove to Hope, Alaska one afternoon after a short workday. She is an ultramarathon runner and wanted to get a run in, and I was itching to see birds. We talked about different places to go and decided on Hope. The wide-open space would satisfy both of our outlandish ticks.

My friend stretched while I set up my camera gear. I told her to take her time as I scanned the landscape for birds. The perfect friendship.
