Teslin Lake to Marsh Lake—June 6

Got an early start today and headed to a Marsh Lake PP about 20 miles for Whitehorse.  I decided to stay there and commute to Whitehorse because I plan on taking a scenic drive to Atlin, BC, Tagish, YT and Carcross, YT tomorrow for the beautiful scenery it offers.  I have never been to Atlin so this will be new territory.  After getting set up I went for a short drive to see what I could find in the way of birds.  The wind was up pretty strong so the lake had waves and I’m sure the birds were in protective coves.  I was able to locate a beaver in a small pond nearby along with 4 Mallard chicks.  Then I went to a place called Swan Haven where hundreds of swan’s stage in migration.  Unfortunately, they have already left and the only birds there were two adult Bald Eagles and two immatures.  So back to the campsite and lunch.  After lunch I went to Whitehorse to run some errands, get some supplies and get access to the internet.  I succeeded in all and was there until late in the afternoon before heading back to camp.  Once in camp Dulce and I enjoyed a nice campfire before retiring for the evening.  Tomorrow will be a long driving day, but without a trailer.  Along the way I did encounter one Black Bear but that was the extent of wildlife for the day.
