I never did get a chance to share images from my summer game cameras that I leave set up over the summer. Unfortunately, because there was so much daytime bird activity, my cameras hit there 6,000 photo limit in May, so I missed out on most of the summer action. Next year I will have a programmable game cam that can be turned off during the day – and hopefully that I can access via a cellular network.

I am so glad I went down there in mid August to refill the automatic watering system. The weather service predicted a hot and dry summer for 2020, but added it wouldn’t be as bad as the record year of 2019. Well they were wrong as it has been much hotter and drier.

On top of that, since my visit, it has continued to be hot a dry with new record highs being set almost daily. The temperature is still breaking a 100 there! I’m so glad I have a water source for the wildlife. Here is some of the May activity from after we left.

A brown bear family taking a break from digging clams for a nice nap on the beach! This was from June here in Alaska.

A sow with three spring cubs this past June in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.

A red fox at Lake Clark National Park, Alaska last June.  I call this a bear and puffin photo tour, but we always see so much more!  This year, we even spotted a wild wolf.

Do you see the tufted puffin in the field of fireweed? This was on Kodiak Island in August.

A little first summer brown bear cub feeding on a piece of clam left by it’s mom.  From June in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. We have a little bit of room left in next year’s bear photo tour.
