While looking for fish, this bear decided to have a bit of swim as well. Great to watch while out and about on Kodiak Island. One of the big giveaways at finding bears feeding is the local seagull and magpie.

The Nikon Z9 is a full-frame mirrorless camera that boasts an impressive set of features that are sure to impress even the most discerning photographers. Lets take a look at why this camera is a wildlife photographers dream.
Working as a wildlife photographer can be one of the most rewarding and exciting careers in photography. It involves capturing stunning images of animals in their natural habitats, and it requires a combination of technical skills, creativity, and a deep passion for nature and wildlife.
The wilderness can be a beautiful and exciting place, but it can also be dangerous and unpredictable. Whether you’re an experienced outdoors person or a beginner, it’s important to know basic survival skills in case of an emergency. In this blog post, we’ll explore some essential wilderness survival skills that can help you stay safe in the great outdoors.
Alaska is a land of natural beauty, blessed with spectacular landscapes and abundant wildlife, including Bears.
In fact, it’s one of the few places in the world where the three species of Bears found in North America live. Polar, Black and Brown.
In this guide, we’ll provide three tips to avoid Bear attacks before explaining what to do if you come across a bear during your travels.
If you’re a photographer, you know how important it is to have your camera accessible at all times. But carrying your camera around your neck or in a bag can be uncomfortable and awkward, especially if you need your hands free for other tasks. That’s where the Cotton Carrier Camera Harness comes in.
Planning a wildlife adventure in Alaska requires careful consideration of the best times to visit. In this blog post, we will explore the optimal seasons and key factors that contribute to unforgettable encounters with Alaska’s magnificent wildlife.
