Description
While in Alaska, my husband and I visited Lake Clark National Park. While in the park, we saw many bear either fishing or making their way to their favorite fishing hole. Whenever we found bears fishing, seagulls were not too far away waiting for their leftovers. This cub took offense to their presence and kept chasing them off. This seagull was having no part of it. I guess he was more hungry than scared.
Comprised of 4 million acres on the Alaska Peninsula in southwest Alaska, Lake Clark is one of the nation's most remote national park units. Established by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) on December 2, 1980, the park and preserve support an ongoing tradition of subsistence culture in a volcanic and partly glaciated landscape containing habitat for wilderness dependent species of fish and wildlife.
