Let me start off with being quite clear, there are no grizzly Bears on the Baja! I am actually jumping out of my assigned beat area, to share some photos from my trip to Kodiak Island Alaska. All of which, was for one a one day shoot with the famed bears, as they dined on the fall salmon run. Common Redpoll.

I must have keep 400 images in the file of just this one species. This late evening photo of an American Avocet is one of my all time favorites of this species.
