Just one of the neighbor kids. |
(See Bearviewing) |
Nesters ! |
Both Horned and Tuffted puffins are seen on land, only during the summer while they nest. |
The Clowns of the sea. Not very graceful, but fun to watch. |
Flying Tuffted Puffin. |
One of our many Foxy ladies. Wild Life is abundant on Kodiak Island and we are not just talking about the animals either! (smile) Lots of Kodiak Characters, we call them. |
One of the local families out dining. |
Great seafood! |
One of our Fin Whales - Finning around. Many different kinds of whales are a common sight around Kodiak Island. |
These are my own photos taken over the years. I hope you enjoy them. |
Our Russian Heritage is very strong on the Island. Russians settled on Kodiak over 200 years ago, making it the first European settlement in Alaska. |
Beachparty! - Sealions at their rookery. Only the Sealions could enjoy playing in these waters. Life threatening for humans, at just a few degrees above freezing, even in the summer. |
State Ferry - Tustumena - Comes from Homer almost daily during the summer. Although, May through Sept., twice a month, "TRUSTY TUSTY" runs all the way to Dutch Harbor, out on the Alutian Chain. |
Immature Bald Eagle, looking for a snack. Bald Eagles don't get their white heads until their 5th year, when they mate for life. |
View from the bridge. Kodiak is the largest fishing port in Alaska. The bridge connects Near Island to Kodiak.The Fisheries Research Center is located on Near Island as well as Saint Herman's Boat Harbor. |

Eaglets! Not even cute when they are in the nest! This was shot in July. They keep both parents busy feeding them. Female lays 2 to 3 eggs 1st of May. |
My favorite Monk. Father Iosheph, with the Russian Orthodox Church, has a great sense of humor. |
