Birds of Alaska

Birds are my passion. Sometimes I get lucky and can actually photograph them decently enough to share... Often not, but I'll share 'em anyway! Hope you enjoy them.

What I consider the best of the best of these photos are for sale at www.alaskafocus.net. If you see a photo you like here that isn't on that website -- drop me a line. If the resolution will allow, we can print up to 13x19 inches.

I am planning my first trip to Alaska, Juneau, Glacier Bay, and Skagway areas. Looking forward to adding some of these to my list. Great photos!

I notice a small bird that visits the suet blocks I put out for the chickadees; this bird is about the size of a chickadee, but is dark on top with a russet breast;, the color of a robin. I can't seem to identify it

Are there Filaloo Birds surviving in Alaska? The last in Arizona and California died in captivity in the Phoenix Zoo in 7 October 1989.

We were discussing a bird with a blue colored body, a black colored head, along with cardinal shaped head features. Used your photos to identify it as a Stellar's Jay. Thank you.

Hi, We saw a bird that looks bland and has white marking thru the wings that resemble the letter "W". I didn't get a good photo. One night when cleaning fish that were hanging one of these birds was sitting on top the cabin and flew down and tried to land on my husbands shoulder and bumped me on the back o fmy head. Been looking for a photo of the bird but thus far unsuccessful.

I have two pairs of birds that are feeding that I can't identify. They almost look like domestic birds that got away. I saw them for the first time yesterday, and we've have this feeder out for years. Any idea what they are if I send a picture? Thanks.

Hi, I Googled "Alaskan Bird photos" because I wanted to ID some little birds that have been around our house today. Found them! They are Red-breasted Nuthatches. Thanks Stacy

I bought a set of three bird pictures. I have identified 2 as being in Alaska but can't find identification for the 3rd. Is it possible to send a digital picture and get some help. We have identified the blue throat and siberian ruby throat. The other one has a red/organish breast. Betty Reaves
