Last night – this huge group of sea-lions has been in front of town all week!

Moose Twins and Mom
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.
Moose Twins
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!
2022 Alaska Photo Tours
This is another new one from last summer.
I intended to do this post this sooner – we recently announced our 2022 Alaska Photo Tours!
The huge response was overwhelming! We quickly filled out a couple of Kenai Fjords Photo tours along with our Katmai Bear Photo tour. However, we do still have two spot remaining for our Inside Passage Bear and Whale Photo Tour, and a few more spots still available for our Alaska Bear and Puffin Photo Tour.
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!
Saguaros and Climate Change
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.
Gila Monster
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!
Clam Stealing
Trying to steal a piece of mom’s clam – risky business that can lead to a scolding!
Cardinal evening
Last night at the lower blind. We had lazuli bunting and black headed grosbeak here the last couple of days, however, they didn’t come to this perch. But and bright red cardinal is a nice consolation!
