There’s something in the air.
by Quent Plett, Churchill Wild Guide
My experiences working with Churchill Wild have been amazing, with new and unique wildlife adventures on a daily basis.
Starting in the early ‘80s, when I first ventured north to work for the Webber family at North Knife Lake, cutting and peeling the logs that where to become the new North Knife Lake Lodge, we have had some fabulous encounters with the local wildlife including wolves, bears, moose, eagles and more.
Many beautiful sunsets have passed since those early days at North Knife, but the extraordinary experiences have kept on flowing.
Good morning from Hudson Bay!
Majestic herds of migrating caribou, waves of snow, ross and Canada geese, seals, siksiks, Arctic fox and hare, Willow Ptarmigan and many others too numerous to mention have graced our presence, but none have given us more thrills and excitement than the polar bears and beluga whales. These past few weeks at Seal River Heritage Lodge have been a superb continuation of wildlife wonders.
We have had numerous mother polar bears with young cubs visit us and two large males have been wrestling just outside the large dining room windows at Seal River Heritage Lodge, adding to the already breathtaking view. The beluga whales as usual have also been very cooperative.
Posing for the camera.
Seeing the huge smiles and looks of childhood wonder on the faces of the drysuit clad guests as they emerge from the icy Hudson Bay water after having had dozens of whales mere inches away from them, and even touched them on occasion, says it all. From our youngest guests like Jacob (4-years-old) and Zachery (8) to some of our older guests, the experiences are equally incredible.
To those of you who have been here, we look forward to your next visit! And for those of you have not been here, we hope to see you soon!
On the lookout.
It was great to be there in early July with Oceans North, still can’t forget the Caribou meat I had for lunch with all the fat..thanks..
