"Wingspan" A Bald Eagle does not get its full white head and tail feathers until it's 3-5 years of age. This immature Bald Eagle still has a massive wingspan and incredible presence as it lands atop a snag in Deep Creek, Alaska (Kenai Peninsula) on a stunningly clear day! ©2012 Langell Photography, LLC.

"Sailing Above the Surface" A Tufted Puffin streaks across the ocean in Homer, Alaska one sunny afternoon! There are two types of puffins in Alaska: Tufted and Horned. Their bills grow large and bright orange during breeding season, but return to a much smaller size and subdued hue when breeding season is through. They mostly come ashore only to nest and breed. Otherwise, they spend their lives at sea! ©2012 Langell Photography, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
"Body Surfer" A Common Murre (related to penguins) skids along the top of the ocean's surface in the Gulf of Alaska. Murres migrate to Alaska by the thousands to raft, "date," breed, and raise young. ©2012 Langell Photography, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
