Incredible beluga whale photos are hard to come by from deck level of boats on the Churchill River or Hudson Bay. Timing the surfacing of the whales is a guess at best and quite often the photos come out with a bunch of white humps protruding from the dark seawater. This view from a helicopter captures a unique perspective that places the travelers in the middle of the beluga whale pod and instead of the whales being the main subject, both humans and whales equally share the focus. One of the best shots I’ve ever seen!

Alex de Vries – Magnifico took this photo from an ultra light above the Hudson Bay…pretty impressive and gutsy. You can see the ice has broken up in the Churchill River and soon beluga whales will be filling the water in all directions. Enjoy the view!

This beautiful sunset shot with the inukshuk by Alex de Vries – Magnifico in Churchill is a great way to start this Sunday. Sunsets in the spring and fall in Churchill seem to have a little better color to them. Enjoy!

Rhonda Reid in Churchill has been getting some amazing sightings an photos of the incoming migratory birds of Churchill so I thought we should just keep getting them out to you also! This is a really special time of year with Ice still in the bay and warmer weather. Birds are arriving and soon the beluga whales will be in the Churchill River and all along the coast in the Hudson Bay! Stay tuned for more updates.

More and more shorebirds are arriving into Churchill as the summer takes hold. This time of year is a bird watchers dream in Churchill as new species appear almost daily in the build up to the nesting and foraging season on the coasts as well as inland. every trip outside creates new opportunities for spotting different birds. Depending on your preference you can do a boreal forest hike or stay along the coast or near inland thermakarsts or pools. There’s plenty of these winged creatures for all types of spottings.
