July!?

Admin · July 2, 2021 · Leave a Comment

How can it be July so soon! The 4th is this weekend which means the Spit will be (even more) packed. This summer’s tourism is definitely making up for last year. It has stayed crowded ever since late May. It helps that Alaska is totally back to normal (Covid-wise). There are occasional masks to be […]

The Tale of Rocky the Rooster

Admin · June 15, 2021 · Leave a Comment

About two weeks ago, we heard about a rooster left for dead in a dumpster. Homer is an incredibly animal friendly town with an awesome shelter and relocation service. These good folks will save any animal, absorb all vet bills, and then find a new home for it. The rooster was thrown away with several […]

Moose on the Loose

Admin · May 23, 2021 · Leave a Comment

What makes Alaska so spectacular? People and nature all share the same land… and sometimes in close quarters! We have three new visitors who have decided to take up temporary residence out back by our sheds. Not to worry. Alaska is a big place with plenty of room for all of us. Good summer!

Chicken Drama & Tourists

Admin · May 22, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Last year we had a close call with one of our birds who came down with wry neck. We just had another bird become egg bound. This is a potentially serious condition where an egg gets stuck in their oviduct which they are unable to pass. You can feel the egg but have to be […]

Birders Part Deux

Admin · May 9, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Well the town has been overrun with folks this past week. The Spit is getting crowded, restaurants have opened, and shops are busy. We originally just thought it was the tourist season kicking off early. We heard about the shorebird festival but frankly forgot about it. After registering for the event, all the hoopla now […]

Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival

Admin · May 8, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Homer is now buzzing with birders everywhere! We are a bit late on posting this as it all comes to a close tomorrow. There is a slew of birding events/tours that folks can join if physically here in Homer. You can however support a good cause and enjoy an array of birding information/videos online if […]

Adios Winter

Admin · May 1, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Ok. It’s May 1st. I think it is safe to say goodbye to winter. Or is it?? Just kidding. We are getting nothing but sun and warmER days now. I say warmER since highs are still only hitting upper 40’s. For all you non Alaskans that probably sounds laughably cold. But for us that is […]

Invasion!!

Admin · April 24, 2021 · Leave a Comment

What time is it? It’s time for a small army of Sandhill cranes to hit Homer. They have arrived in force from their far reaches in the lower US. The sandhill crane is a species of large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia. The common name of this bird refers to habitat like […]

As the World Turns

Admin · March 6, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Ever feel like you are living in a soap opera? Every day is kind of similar to the last. There might be a couple new characters on stage but nothing too jolting. Welcome to winter farming when there is not much farming to do. We occupy ourselves with daily jaunts to the Spit with our […]

Valentine’s Day in Homer

Admin · February 18, 2021 · Leave a Comment

What do you do in snowy Homer over Valentine’s Day? Go to the races of course. An ice race track was meticulously created on Beluga Lake. The lake is in between the Spit and downtown Homer. It includes the Beluga wetlands. There are more than a 100 bird species that migrate to the area in […]
