On the way to Seldovia, AK

We decided to take a boat trip to Seldovia with our friends, Carol and Frank Colligan. This is a community of artists and can only be reached by boat.


Leaving the harbor


Our first wildlife of the crossing, an otter in the harbor.


Coast Guard boat docked in the harbor.


Gull Island is another rookery. Pretty good size compared to the kayaks


Some puffins in there, too.


Notice the way the cormorants are all in a line.


Looks like these cormorants are keep guard all across the top of the rocks.


Otter in the seaweed.


Kittiwake


Can you spot the eagle?


I watched him take off, grab a fish from the ocean and then fly away. He does have the fish in his talons.


Interesting color in these rocks.


I'm only sharing a couple of my otter pictures...I took a LOT. They were SO cute!!




Seldovia harbor was full of these jellyfish and kelp.


I had to take a picture of this boat for our grandson, Brandon!!
