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 14, 2012
This past weekend was a rather chilly one for both swans and the photographers who chase them. Low numbers of swans combined with overcast skies, a high of only +5 degrees and a steady breeze created some poor photography conditions. Biologists believe that a major weather system south of the Yukon is preventing the swans, and a host of other migratory birds, from continuing their journey northwards. Let's hope that next weekend brings better opportunities for all.
Here are the latest numbers: aprox. 350 trumpeter swans at Swan Haven (Marsh Lake). I spotted fewer than 150 at Tagish.
Enjoy the remainder of your weekend.
Cheers,
Claus
