Join award-winning author/naturalist and wildlife photographer Stan Tekiela for this amazing opportunity to capture images of Bald Eagles and Sea Otters in stunning Homer, Alaska. Stan has been photographing at this location for over 20 years and understands how to get the best action images of both eagles and sea otters. Stan has a double degree (B.S.) in wildlife biology and Environmental Education. His extensive knowledge of local wildlife makes this a fun and educational experience.
We will have incredible photographic opportunities to capture images of majestic Bald Eagles in spectacular mountain and ocean surroundings. It is not uncommon to have several dozen eagles at one time for us to photograph. This is a truly unique opportunity to capture and witness eagles catching fish, fighting, perching, flying, and interacting with other eagles.
With only 5 participants you will get all the attention you need from Stan to help you capture the images that you are dreaming about.
