BRITT'S VOLUNTEER REWARD! : As part of the Alaska Zoo's Volunteer Program volunteers are rewarded with certificates at the completion of a set number of hours.  

Britt, my shooting partner, recently completed 60's hours of volunteer time and was given the choice to help in feeding the animal of her choice. 

This album covers her morning with Smitty the head keeper at the Alaska Zoo as he stops off to feed the coyotes prior to feeding our 2 Snow Leopards, Molly and Kaz.

At the same time it afforded me the opportunity to get some shots of Molly as she goes thru her morning game of hide and seek with Smitty as he nears the enclosure, plus capture some great still shots of both of the cats.

Northwest TREK Wildlife Park : The Alaska Zoo recently sent several animals to Northwest Trek Wildlife Park. This facility is a treasure for wildlife enthusiasts. The signature tram tour through the 435-acre free-roaming area offers the opportunity to spot animals as they wander through forests, wetlands and meadows. In the core area, visitors can get a peek at native wild canines and cats as well as forest and wetland critters. The 715-acre park has a little bit of everything: lakes, trails, meadows and plenty of animals. Northwest Trek is home to more than 200 North American animals representing more than 30 species.

I would ask all those that visit my web site and see the images I have posted here make a point to visit the park if ever in this part of the country.  See for your self the beauty I found there.
