The sun is starting to kiss the mountain tops directly across from my AirBnB looking out over Kachemak Bay near Homer, Alaska. This is a grand place, and after an explore of Homer shortly after I arrived yesterday evening, I am thrilled I chose to not stay in town (only a short drive by car). I took this image before sunrise this morning … my view.

While I did not really have time to bird yesterday during my 12+ hours of travel, while leaving Anchorage I found these Red-Necked Grebes right off the Seward Highway at Potters Marsh. It’s been eight years since I’ve seen Red-Necked Grebes!

Today I explore Gull Islands and Kachemak Bay by boat!
