Summer is here and polar bears appear on the rocks and tundra of Churchill’s Arctic landscape seemingly out of nowhere. If you keep a keen eye the chances are great that you will see polar bears in the north country! Enjoy!

The amazing Arctic tern is the phenom of all migrating birds. With an annual round trip of roughly 45,000 miles, this stellar specimen is rivaled by no other in endurance and perseverance in seeking out prime conditions fro feeding and breeding for survival of the species. Churchill is a key summer destination with a bounty of food and nesting areas.

Cinnamon Black Bear shows up in Churchill. Rhonda Reid photo.
This cinnamon black bear was “captured” via camera by Rhonda Reid in Churchill. Black bears have been more regularly spotted further north over the last 20 years. Churchill has become quite the melting pot of animal species as the climate changes more and more. We are still quite surprised every time we get a look at another bear beside the King of the North! Polar bears still dominate the landscape though we are surely seeing an increase in these other species of bears.
