What an incredible start to Homer’s summer tourist season! 🦅 Around 1,100 birdwatchers from across Alaska, the Lower 48, and countries like France, Spain, South Africa, and Benin gathered for the 34th annual Kachemak Bay Shorebird Festival last week. 🌍 Together, they spotted a whopping 131 different bird species, including thousands of migrating sandpipers, godwits, and plovers. 🏖️ But the ultimate highlight came at the very end of the festival when an ultra-rare juvenile ivory gull was spotted right on the Homer Spit! 😮 Word spread like wildfire through the Alaska birding community, and eager birders packed the Fish Dock Road area with binoculars and cameras to catch a glimpse of the almost pure white gull. 📸 This marks the first time an ivory gull has been seen in Homer since 1963, making it a once-in-a-lifetime moment for many! 🤍 Check out the full story, the list of species spotted, and incredible photos from the historic weekend here: #KachemakBayShorebirdFestival#HomerAlaska#BirdWatching#IvoryGull#RareBirdAlert#AlaskaWildlife#ShorebirdFestival#ExploreAlaska...

If you are driving around Homer, you definitely cannot miss them! 🐇 Loose domestic rabbits are grazing on spring grass all over the city, from the high school to the public library. 🏫 While some residents think they are adorable, others are dealing with a total menace to their gardens and landscaping. 🥕 Homer Animal Shelter director Jillian Rogers reports that this is a major boom year for the bunnies, but feral rabbits have actually been an issue in Alaska for quite some time. 🏔️ Local wildlife biologists note that a mild winter with less snow allowed more rabbits to survive into the spring, and because they can breed every thirty days, the population is exploding! 📈 Unlike native snowshoe hares, these are domesticated European rabbits that were either let loose or escaped. 🚪 They can attract dangerous predators like coyotes, wolves, and bears into city neighborhoods, and they risk spreading diseases to native wildlife. 🐻 State regulations classify these rabbits as exotic wildlife, making it illegal to release them into the wild or feed them in your yard. 🛑 While residents can borrow live traps from the local fish and game office to catch nuisance bunnies on their property, it is strictly illegal to relocate and release them elsewhere. 🚫 Since the shelter can only take in friendly, adoptable pet bunnies, locals are largely left to safeguard their properties with fencing. 🚧 Read the full story on how the community is handling the bunny boom here: #homeralaska#BunnyBoom#feralrabbits#AlaskaWildlife#homernews#CommunityUpdate#alaskalife#homerrabbits...

The Jesse Lee Home Cemetery in Seward is being restored after being abandoned and reclaimed by nature for over 60 years! 🌳 Originally opened in 1926 as an orphanage and boarding school for Alaska Native children, the site was closed after the 1964 earthquake and the remaining buildings were demolished in 2020. 🏚️ During the demolition, the Qutekcak Native Tribe realized a forgotten cemetery existed on the property. 😮 Because the original grave markers were removed and lost decades ago, volunteers initially had no idea how many children and workers were buried there, except for a single standing nurse's headstone. 🪦 Now, thanks to the incredible teamwork of volunteers using metal detectors and LiDAR technology, about 40 grave sites have been successfully identified and marked with flags. 🗺️ While they may never be able to put a name to every single grave, work will continue this summer to scan the rest of the area. 🌲 The Seward City Council has officially started the process of transferring the land to the Qutekcak Native Tribe, who plan to build a beautiful totem arch entrance, paths, and benches to create a peaceful space for reflection and healing. ❤️🩹 Read the full historic update here: #AlaskaHistory #SewardAlaska #Restoration#Seward#Alaska#Community#CulturalHeritage#JesseLeeHome AlaskaNativeHistory ...
