Traveling through Canada to Alaska



June 7th we had "popcorn" snow storm in Livingston, Montana.  Good thing it didn't last long.  Enough of winter and on to Spring!

Many birds were migrating in, incuding many Western Tanagers and Lazuli Buntings.






We left for Alaska on June 9th and headed to Glacier National Park before crossing into Canada.
