Mother’s Day has a special meaning to Alaskans. Moose Mama’s creator, Dana DeBernardi, is a good example. She saves orphan moose calves to be released to populate Alaska’s moose population. Moose play an important role to Alaskans especially in the rural areas as a food source. Visit www.moosemamas.org.

Dana tells us about Moose Mamas!

The 2021 Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival in Homer, AK features 22 million birds who come to mate and nest. (We fact-checked this and it’s true- we counted them!)

A keynote speaker at the festival, Paul Bannick talked with us about his book about the snowy owl. Owls are a special interest for Paul and his books are filled with his award-winning photography. You can watch his presentation virtually by visiting the Festival events: www.kachemakshorebird.org.
