Brown / Grizzly Bear, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

My two Alaska Bear and Puffin Photo Tours have been full for a long time. However, last weekend we had two unexpected cancellations, and that has opened up two spots on trip number 1, June 20-26, 2025. I have been visiting this location in Lake Clark National Park for 17 years now, and it never disappoints! These are just a couple photos from the area. Beside bears, we see lots of puffin and eagles.

Lupine Bear

Brown Bear, Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

We had a lot of photo opportunities with brown bears in fields of lupine this past June – definitely the most I have every had. It is still a challenging photo, as the bears are in constant motion, and the lupine can be as tall as the bears face. So you are waiting for those brief moments when the bear looks up, and there is a gap in the lupine. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

This brown bear decided to lay down in the sand to take a rest, so I laid down as well to be at eye level. Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

In many of the bird species in Costa Rica, the male and female appear very different. Here is a male (black) and female scarlet-rumped tanager.
