Island Byways

Our night skies have been graced with a beautiful moon, Mars, the comet NEOWISE and magical, electric-blue noctilucent clouds! Life on an island called Kodiak. 

Wild roses decorate the hillsides, the meadows are full of wildflowers, and the comet NEOWISE is gracing the night sky these days. Life on Alaska's Kodiak Island.

Summer Solstice and a visit from a pod of orcas. Life on Kodiak Island!

Birds, bees...pollinators galore on the island this time of year. Hiking is great and the humpback whales have been hanging around. Tune in to hear about life on Kodiak Island. 

The annual greening of Kodiak Island. There's a reason Kodiak is known as the Emerald Isle in the North Pacific - there's nothing quite like the variety and sheer quantity of green you will find here in June each year. 

Migration season is in full swing! From birds to gray whales - you never know what you might find on a walk on the beach or on a trail through the forest. And what's all this about pishing? Springtime on Kodiak Island. 

It's the perfect time of year to get out and admire all the little things - tiny plants at your feet, small birds above your head, tiny buds on the trees. This island is about to burst with new life. Get out, take a big breath of fresh air, and take a look around you. Life on an island in the North Pacific.
