Rafting the Firth and Tatshenshini this summer was an amazing time. Using a Canon 90D with a 300mm F4 lens it was possible to capture a few of the animals, bugs, and bird life we saw.
Enjoy the images below,
Peregrine Falcon on the Firth River
Porcupine Caribou on the Firth River
Baby Merganser in an eddy on the Firth River

Raptors on the cliffs of the Firth River
Muskox (Bovidae family) on the banks of the Firth River
Came across a herd on the banks of the Firth River as we were in the Delta Reach of the river. Fantastic to see them so close
Ptarmigan bolted along as we got close during a walk
Porcupine Caribou heading out of the Delta reach as we head to Nunaluk spit
Kingfisher (Belted) 11-14inch and wingspan of 19-23inch on the banks of the Tatshenshini
Trumpeter Swan with an orange head and neck due to iron-rich waters and mud where they forage on the Tatshenshini
Clouded Sulphur Butterfly
Grizzly Mom and Cub cruise along the Tatshenshini across the river from Camp at Melt Creek
Very cool to see bears in their natural habitat
