A Bald Eagle in flight today. Temperatures have dropped and “pancake” ice floes are forming on the Chilkat River.

Saw a coyote up on the Chilkat Pass and he gave me a look as he went by! Joe

Today we met with Mario Benassi, master falconer and wildlife expert.  Our mission was to photograph three amazing birds- the snowy owl, red-tailed hawk and the goshawk. More shots to follow. Joe

On an outing today to a remote, seldom-visited section of the Chilkat River, I found a river channel frozen smooth as glass, except where a stick had frozen protruded through the ice. Joe

Out on a remote section of the Chilkat River these patterns in the sand were reminders of days past with higher water. Now that cold has set in, the river has dropped until spring. Joe

A few small colored rocks add variety and interest to the foreground of this winter scene. Joe

The sun came out, the lake froze, it snowed, then it rained, the fog appeared, then the mountains came out of the mist. What will tomorrow bring? Joe

This is a beautiful time of the year. The snow has not yet fallen, the temperatures have dropped so that ice is starting to form, and rivers are flowing emerald green. Joe

I took this shot the other night from our front yard at Swan View Cabins Mosquito Lake. We finally had some clear weather. The lake is frozen so the reflection is subdued. Joe

There were several days of cold weather and our Subaru was covered in hoar frost. The northern lights were shining over our rental cabin and the neighbors house was lit up with the stars behind it. Joe

The Northern Lights were glowing behind our rental cabin the other night and I was able to get this shot. Joe

“The sun finally broke out after record-breaking rainfall in July. RGA founder Joe Ordonez celebrated by breaking out his guitar and playing a tune in the sun on the porch in front of the RGA office.”
