Homer is 75 miles south of where I live. I go there the last week of February. Last year I photographed the Eagles from 9am until about 6 pm. The temps last year were around 20 -30F with a cold wind blowing about 20 - 30mph. This next year we are going down the last week of February and photograph the Eagles, then going up to Willow to photograph the Iditarod Dog Sled Race the first weekend in March, then on up to Fairbanks to photograph the Northern Lights. Fairbanks will be shorter hours of daylight and probably 0-20F. We will be nocturnal in Fairbanks as we will be shooting after dark. If we have time, we may stop at Delta Junction to photograph the last wild herd of Bison in the USA. For the Bison shoot, I want it to be cold and the wind blowing snow for the photograph I want. I have a friend from Houston Texas that comes up every year to photograph the Eagles. He leaves Houston in shorts and T shirt and arrives in Anchorage looking like the Michelin Man. LOL
