Tom Walker, Alaska's premier wildlife photographer, presents the state's well-known wildlife along with its more unusual species in this incredible selection of photographs. Alaska's Wildlife follows the seasons from spring through summer's endless light and the colorful season of fall to freeze-up and into the depths of winter. Walker chose this organization to give the reader an understanding of Alaska's animals and their behavior over the course of the year.
These stunning phots include Alaska's best known mammals: wolves, brown bears, black bears, polar bears, caribou, moose, sheep, foxes, humpback whales, and orcas. Walker also photographs less common species such as the snowshoe hare, the lynx, the red and arctic foxes, and the rare arctic loons, to name but a few.
The text presents an engaging story of how and why he photographs these marvelous creatures. He weaves the natural history into his writing as skillfully as a weaver bird creates its next.
