SE Alaska: 9-18










Common Merganser





Humpback Whale Flukes





Landslide





Pelagic Cormorants





Fin Whale: the 2nd largest whale to the Blue Whale





The adults are 68-70 feet long and weigh 100,000 pounds!





Only the 2nd one we’ve ever seen (the other one was in Greenland)




White-winged Scoters





These large sea ducks often nest in association with gull breeding colonies.  Although the gulls would happily eat the eggs and chicks of the scooters, the dense vegetation where the scooters nest keeps them safe.
