🍀Feeling lucky? Spot the brown bear in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Across Alaska, bears are emerging, so check your bear spray's safety features and carry it. Travel in groups and make noise in bear country. 📸 USFWS

Not your average songbird. Northern shrikes are feathered assassins, turning treetops into hunting perches. They use their bill to hunt other birds and small mammals, sometimes capturing their prey and grounding them with their strong feet to finish the kill. 📷 USFWS

Hiking, fishing, hunting & camping are some ways to recreate on National Wildlife Refuges. No matter what you choose, make sure to take a few mins to clean your gear before heading out. This simple step helps prevent introduction of invasive species. 📷Katrina Liebich/USFWS
