Welcome! I'm a freelance outdoor photographer and travel writer living in the wilds of the Yukon, Canada. For the past 20 years I have travelled throughout the remote corners of the Canadian Arctic, Latin America and Madagascar. I enjoy writing about and photographing landscapes, wildlife and outdoor pursuits. It is my intent to use this blog to share my stories and images from my adventures.

Swan Report - April 17, 2012
Good morning from the Yukon. Here is the latest swan report courtesy The Yukon Department of Environment:
Last night there were more or less the same number of swans at Swan Haven, over 1100, while the numbers at Tagish have increased to 500. New arrivals, at both locations, include the Greater white-fronted goose, northern pintails, green-winged teals, buffleheads, mallards and Canada geese.
If you are in the Yukon make sure you drop by the Swan Haven Interpretation Centre as they celebrate the annual Celebration of Swans event. Several viewing scopes, a viewing platform and a walking trail on the ice allow visitors to spot these majestic birds while Interpreters are on hand to answer any questions you may have about the natural history of the swans. The Celebration of Swans runs from April 14 to 22nd.
I cannot wait until the weekend.
Cheers,
Claus
