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,

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

Very cool to see bears in their natural habitat
