Back from an awesome trip to Southeast Alaska! We had bears with spring cubs, breaching whales and even bubble-net feeding! Not too mention, awesome scenery. This field of fireweed had dozens and dozens of Rufus hummingbirds. It was incredible! More in the days to come.

Spring Cubs?

One of many reasons as to why I’m hopefully for spring cubs next year! 🙂 This was one of a couple of sows who mated this year including everyone’s favorite sow Crimp Ear.

Bing Background! I understand a flipped version of this photo was the background of Bing last month while I was away. Unfortunately it was gone before I could grab a screen shot, but still cool! I think this is my third or fourth time.
