Discover Churchill Tours的点评
点评:I completed 2 back to back tours with with Discover Churchill starting Oct. 23 and ending November 7. This allowed me 13 days of bear viewing but I took 3 days off to rest, so only did 10 full days of photography. These guides are fantastic. Guide Tomas spotted a bear swimming about a miles away... where almost no one else could see it. We waited until it arrived in front of us to climb on land when he gave a big head shake to throw off water. Saw mother bear with 2 cubs eating a recently killed seal, a mother bear nursing her one cub, bear and cubs climbing steep rocks, an ermine in winter white, 6 or so arctic hares, 1 snowy owl, 150 or so Ptarmigan birds in winter white, 2 nights of arora borealis, white-winged crossbills birds, etc... Weather ranged from +40 F in beginning to -20 F at end. In November we had 2 or 3 days of 35+ mph winds and chilly temperatures, making it difficult to hand hold a camera, or even set up a tripod and camera with thick gloves.
翻译:我参加了Discover Churchill组织的两次连续旅行,从10月23日开始,到11月7日结束。这期间我有13天的时间观赏熊,但我休息了3天,所以只用了10天的时间进行拍摄。这些向导太棒了!向导托马斯发现了一头在离我们大约一英里远的地方游泳的熊……几乎其他人都看不到它。我们等到它游到我们面前,它用力甩头甩掉身上的水后才爬上岸。我们看到了带着两只幼崽的母熊正在吃一只刚被杀死的海豹,一只母熊正在哺乳幼崽,熊和幼崽正在攀爬陡峭的岩石,一只冬日里毛色雪白的白鼬,大约6只北极兔,1只雪鸮,大约150只冬日里毛色雪白的雷鸟,连续两晚的北极光,白翅交嘴雀等等……天气从开始时的40华氏度到结束时的零下20华氏度不等。 11 月份有两三天风速超过 35 英里/小时,气温也很低,戴着厚手套很难手持相机,甚至很难架起三脚架和相机。
