Another day, another memory to treasure for life. Another day, another memory to treasure for life. While trailing moose in NW Maine, my friend and I were charged by a protective mother coyote. We had inadvertently come close to her den, and she made sure we knew it!

Barking at us from a distance, she suddenly rushed through the forest towards us, stopping only 60ft away. Staring at us, there was a momentary sharing of information as our eyes locked. Having delivered her message, she sped away as quickly as she had come. Out of sight, she continued to bark for a couple minutes. My friend and I stood in amazement, then, sharing a congratulatory smile, we turned and left.

Long overdue post! These photos are of the young f Long overdue post! These photos are of the young female fisher, F20, feasting on one of two dead turkeys I found while exploring a small cluster site of her collar GPS points, not far from a road, back in mid May. I don't know how the two turkeys died, but F20 was certainly taking advantage of this opportunity. This young female (having been born in March of 2025) was only 4.5 lbs when we captured her. It's possible that she could have killed these turkeys - I've heard second hand accounts of people seeing fishers attack turkeys - but to have killed two, being a relatively small fisher, seems odd.

I spent last evening with a pair of local loons. T I spent last evening with a pair of local loons. The pair either did not nest or did not successfully rear chicks this year, unfortunately. However, they seemed to remain tightly bonded. The pair were inseparable as they slowly drifted and quietly spoke with one another amidst the pickerel weed and sedges.

I have a huge backlog of photos from spending two I have a huge backlog of photos from spending two weeks sailing along the SE Alaskan coast. So I'm going to release the photos in batches.

First, some context because I don't think I fully explained why I was in Alaska. I was hired by a small interpretive guiding company, Raven, to work as a naturalist for a couple of Tauck (a luxury tour company) tours that were sailing aboard a Silversea cruise ship. The tour was one week, starting in Anchorage, then to Seward (where we boarded the ship), Juneau, Skagway, Sitka, Ketchikan, and ending in Vancouver, BC. I went southbound with one group, then went back north (basically in reverse order) with a second group of guests.

My job as the naturalist was to prepare and give presentations on the animals, ecosystems, and natural history of SE Alaska. Having never been to Alaska previously, I spent dozens of hours preparing presentations and familiarizing myself with the landscape and wildlife before departing for the voyage.

One of the most exciting elements of the trip was seeing glaciers! We saw dozens, some way up close, and others high up on distant mountainsides. I'll leave this post as a collection of just a handful of glacier-related images.

1. Hubbard Glacier: largest tidewater glacier in North America and one of only a few growing glaciers. For context the glacial wall soars 300ft above the water's surface. 
2. Ash lines in the glacial ice
3. Piece of a glacial moraine
