      The Magnusson's 

​       Cruise to Juneau 5




​Narrated by Sharon Magnusson
Picture
Because our flight was due to leave at 8:30 PM and the fact that we had to be off the ship by 7:00 AM, we decided to do another excursion, which proved to be the best of the bunch. The first critter we spotted was a Harbor seal. I almost missed him, but he surely kept his eyes on us.
Picture
These birds poop all over the place and then use the excrement to build their nests. Quite a social group, poop and all.
Picture
None of my photos of the horned puffin were very good. Choppy water and a telescopic lens don't make for good company. But, I tried.
Picture
Nanny and baby mountain goat out for a morning stroll.
Picture
The Stellar sea lions hunt for fish at night, so photographing them with a full belly was easy.
Picture
Usually calving happens a few times every hour in tidewater glaciers, but one needs to be fast!  Needless to say, I caught only the splash.  We were about a quarter of a mile from this massive masterpiece.

Thanks to Skip, I am now able to tell you these "penguins" are really Murres; species unclear because the photo isn't close enough to be accurate.
