Alaska Wildlife Viewing And Photography

Alaska- just the name conjures up visions of the wild, wonderful creatures of the North Country, brown bears… wolves… Dall sheep… caribou… moose…

But there is more - much more. Offshore you can see beluga, humpback, gray and orca (killer) whales as well as porpoises, sea lions and several kinds of seals. Overhead fly trumpeter swans, bald eagles and Peregrine falcons. In all Alaska is home to 105 species of mammals, 300 species of birds and 58 species of freshwater and anadromous fish, plus seven types of amphibians. With abundant wildlife viewing and beautiful landscapes, photography opportunities abound.
