This is from Monday night, a night before the Super Flower Blood Moon – what a name! We had clouds move in last night, so we missed the full moon and lunar eclipse by just a couple of hours. This is the same huge group of Steller Sea-lions that have been regulars here this week.
Newborn moose calves an mom a couple of days ago in Seward, Alaska.
I have received a lot of questions about the mother’s whereabouts when I shared the photos of the moose calf twins – I should have mentioned this from the beginning, she was very nearby feeding on alders and keeping a close eye on her little twins. This was captured shortly after the last image.
I friend in Seward messaged me today to say she had new born moose calves in her backyard! I had to head immediately out there. They were so cute! They could hardly stand on those long stilts called legs!
Historically, the Alaska bear and puffin photo tour is usually our first to fill. In is interesting how things vary from year to year. But if you want to spend all day long taking photos up close to amazing brown/grizzly bears, this trip is for you! The last couple of years we have had a cooperative red fox, lots of eagles and even a wolf sighting!

The record heat and drought thanks to climate change are really doing a number on our saguaros, especially the big old ones. I worry what it’ll look like when we get back. They play such an important role on our property, just a quick survey on and around our place I found two gilded flicker nests, three gila woodpecker nests, red tailed hawk and Harris’s hawk nest. Not to mention the amazing scenic value they bring to the area. I really hope there’s a good monsoon season this summer while we are back in Alaska. This cactus almost fell over while I was standing there I could hear it cracking. iPhone photo.
A gila monster at the waterhole today. This is the second one here in three days. It has been busy as we pack things up, hard to to have the camera out. Lot of migrant birds, and the Harris’s hawks now have a nearby nest!
