Porcupining

I just love porcupines.

I got to see one during my first trip to the aufeis...


...and after it scuttled away I was really appreciating its tracks.


Then I learned porcupines are pretty rare this far north so I wasn't expecting to see another.

And then five days later, tagging along on another drive with the camp naturalist, I did!


This adorable, bedraggled guy was just taking a determined walk north along the pipeline pathway. Maybe looking for the one at the aufeis for a little porcupine romance?


The naturalist got some awesome close-ups if you want to check out his journal for that day by clicking here.
