Approaching St. Lazaria Bird Sanctuary by Caitlin Blaisdell
What people usually ask for?
Two kinds of private trips come up most often. One is birders with a specific target: a trip out to St. Lazaria Island, a seabird sanctuary just off Kruzof Island, tends to be the priority for this group. St. Lazaria is home to over half a million nesting seabirds, making it one of the most vital and dense bird sanctuaries in Alaska. You may see Tufted Puffins, Rhinoceros Auklets, Petrels, Murres, Cormorants, Guillemots, and more.
The other popular request is for photographers who want to slow down and hold position for the photos. We're set up for both — birders chasing a specific island, and photographers who'd rather wait ten extra minutes for the shot.
