It’s somewhat chilly in Alaska

I’m in Homer!  Homer, Alaska, that is.  I’ll be volunteering with these guys for the next few weeks:

Kachemak Bay Research Reserve

The drawing above was illustrated by Catie Bursch, one of Kachemak Bay Research Reserve’s Marine Educators.  Today Catie and I went on an excursion looking for materials for the new exhibit at the Islands and Oceans Center where KBRR is housed.   Alaska is amazing!  I just saw a moose outside the window, I kid you not.

I’ll be working with Angela Doroff, helping with her research on kelp forest distribution and sea otter diet.  More to come!

  1. Found you via Sook Haley. Homer is one of my favorite places in the world. Beautiful! Enjoy the view from the spit. And make sure you go over to Two Sisters Bakery. Egads, their stuff is the best.

  2. Hey Myfanwy, an otter walked through the yard up here. There is a wet swale along the property. We are enjoying the reports. Janet
