Yesterday was such a fun day of interning.  It was super nice out and sunny all day.  Erin, Sarah, and I interned and worked together for the day since we had a few big projects to get done.  The first thing I did was walk the bear enclosure looking for bears and trying to wake them up.  For the first time ever one of them met me in the back of the enclosure...I was about to give up when I looked over my shoulder one last time and Patron was sticking her head out of the brush.  I was so excited!!  And it was my favorite bear.  We got a HUGE donation of fruit from a store in Anchorage so we had to figure out where to freeze all the berries.  I packed blueberries in one of our freezers...which wouldn't be bad except for the fact that I had to pack them in a freezer with a dead musk ox.  It was gross.  Just another day at the center I guess.  Below is a pic of my berry packing job along with Sarah showing off her strength haha.  We also loaded up the bucket of the tractor a few times and Erin drove us to the elk and caribou enclosure to dump some strawberries in.  I love riding in the tractor : )  The black bears were also loving the strawberries.  I took a few cute pics of Kuma (one of our black bears) what a stud!  I finished the day with a behind the scenes tour with four women.  They just loved the moose calves.  It ended up being 2 1/2 hours long and we were able to see all the babies feedings.  I think one of the favorites though was Jewelie.  I'm so glad she's back on display.  I felt bad they had to trek through a field of bear poop bombs (she's in the old black bear enclosure) but it was worth it when they got to pet her and give her loving.  Sweet Jewelie.  After work Sarah, Scott, and I went to Cooper Landing to do the last Snicker's presentation.  Afterwards we went to the Russian River which I wasn't feeling at all since we didn't have any bear spray.  We saw SO many reds.

Today was a productive day of cleaning.  I gave the bunk house and bathroom a good scrub down and did some emails.  Rainy day.  I also got to watch a vet from Bird TLC (treatment and learning center) do a check up on our three birds (2 owls and bald eagle).  They were all healthy and looked good.  It was amazing to see their talons and watch her trim their beaks and take blood samples.  She'd even stretch their wings out to check them out and you could see their wing span (not common to see since they're gun shot or wind storm victims so you don't see them stretch their wings out.  They predicted Adonis's wing span to be about 6 feet or so!
