"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.
"Vantage Point" An adult Bald Eagle sits high atop a spruce tree in Kenai, Alaska in the late-day sun. It has a breathtaking view of open marshland, grassland, and a seashore from which to seek out prey. ©2012 Langell Photography, LLC. All Rights Reserved.
