Kenai Fjords - Wildlife

The other thing to see on the Kenai Fjords tours is the wildlife of the Gulf of Alaska.


Harbor Seals




Horned Puffins




A Black Bear



Sea Otters






Tufted Puffins

 




While very agile under the water, with their plump bodies and short wings Puffins are not graceful fliers and have a hard time getting airborne from the water.






Stellar Sea Lions




Common Murres



On our return, the captain diverted to a reported "superpod" of Orcas that the on-board National Park ranger estimated as 20 to 30 whales.  For a while, we saw Orcas in every direction from the boat.
