I grabbed this quick photo through the window of our RV – we have now had a Lazuli Bunting here two days in a row! Maybe the beginning of a wave of migrants.

Here is a trip report for my Alaska Whale and Bear photo tour. This gives you a real feel for what a typical trip might be like. All the photos were taken during the actual trip: Alaska Bear and Whale Photo Tour Trip Report.

Female Lawrence’s Goldfinch. A guest saw a male about a month ago and I have been on the lookout ever since. I finally was able to see and photograph this female about a week ago, and then spotted a male out this window a couple of days ago. Colorful bird!

A hooded oriole this morning – first oriole of the season! So colorful! Can you find it in the brittlebush?

I have been working on a trip report from last summer’s Katmai trip and I’m surprised at how many images I haven’t had a chance to share yet including this one! I have one cabin left for the 2023 Katmai Bear Photo Tour.

The brittlebush (wildflowers) next to one of the waterholes is really looking good right now, so I set up the camera, trigger and flashes in front of it last night and captured images of this hooded skunk among others.
I have shared a number of photos of a hooded skunk this winter with a injured rear leg. I believe this is a different one. The rear legs looks perfectly fine – granted it could have healed. However this one behaves differently. It is more skittish. Where Gimpy as I liked to call it was completely oblivious to my presence, this one will scurry off a short distance and watch. I’ll keep watching for Gimpy.
