Narrowly dodged a flight of three of Alaska’s State Bird as I was driving near a river today. -25F, bright blue sky, brilliant winter sun and then blazing white, with their black outer tail-feathers looking like rudders as the birds glided crisply into the bottom and were lost in the drifts of snow.
