Spring is Here: Alaskan Bald Eagles Building Nest

A pair of eagles are working hard on a nest beside the barn, here at the Diamond M Ranch Resort. 

They fly back and forth, laden with sticks for putting their masterpiece together.  We are all enjoying the site, though I'm not sure the free-range chickens are feeling quite as awed as the rest of us...   

The Birds Are Back! Migratory Flocks Landing on Kenai Flats

I wish I had brought my camera with me the other day.  As I drove through the Kenai Flats (our local name for the river and ocean fed estuary wetland, nestled right below the Diamond M Ranch Resort), I happened to come upon a great reunion party.  Huge flocks of Canadian geese, ducks and other migratory birds were all coming in from their various Southern destinations, all at the same time.  The air was filled with the sense of rejoicing as the birds flew in and around and among each other, calling out, excited and anticapatory.  I'm not sure that a camera would have been able to do it justice.  It was absolutely beautiful.

America on Wheels: Great Review for the Ranch

What a nice review this is about the Diamond M Ranch Resort.  Thanks so much, Janet!   

"Great place to stay!


If you have the opportunity to stop, this is a good central location for lots of activity. The WiFi works well and the bathhouse is very clean. The laundry facilities are good. The sites are good size and the office has recommendations for places to fish, eat, hike and sight see. They even have activities such as the clam chowder social and pot luck dinners. This is a quiet park where you can feel at home. Instead of moving the RV around the Kenai, we stayed here and traveled to Homer and Seward (Seward was a little far for a day trip)."
