Sea Birds & Foxes 2025

Imagine a place with so much wildlife that there’s always something to photograph, no matter the time of day. A place blanketed with beautiful wildflowers. A place with countless Sea Birds, where Arctic Foxes roam the colorful landscape. Let me tell you, I’ve experienced it and it’s absolutely amazing! Join me in Alaska on this very special 6 day Sea Bird & Fox workshop. The main focus of this workshop will be photographing the many species of birds that migrate through the area and nest along the local cliffs. Some of the commonly photographed species are Horned Puffins, Tufted Puffins, Murres, Parakeet Auklets, Least Auklets, Crested Auklets, Kittiwakes, Cormorants and so much more. We will also focus on photographing the many Arctic Foxes that hunt along the cliffsides and in the nearby flower-covered meadows. We will also spend some time focused on some of the other local wildlife such as Sea Otters, Seals, Red Foxes, Reindeer, Bald Eagles and countless other birds. At the end of each photo-filled day, we’ll return to the comforts of a cozy hotel.

Schedule & other considerations

Daylight lasts a long time and we’ll have many photographic opportunities during peak wildlife hours. Our itinerary is flexible and can be catered to the group. Keep in mind that our daily itinerary can be subject to change due to weather. For the most part, we will be hiking over relatively flat, sometimes uneven surfaces and slight inclines and declines. Many of the best spots are relatively close to the hotel and we don’t need to venture out far to find prime photography opportunities. Some of my favorite locations are about a 1.5 - 2 mile hike each way with some steeper inclines, these are areas that we may visit depending on what opportunities are available. This part of Alaska is filled with a huge variety of species and we will focus on as many of these as possible. As we do so, we will move locations partway through the workshop, the itinerary will stay fairly consistent in each area.

The weather can be variable this time of year and I recommend getting travel insurance and keeping some extra days available in your schedule after the workshop dates in case we experience travel delays. Temperatures can range anywhere from the low 30’s to mid 60’s, so bring appropriate clothing, boots and rain gear.
