Hay, sinatraman, you should get your fact right. Yes the Eskimo kill maybe three or four whale a years for subsistence. They use every part of the whale. Not like Norway or Japan or the other whale hunting countries. By Alaska Law they must use oar powered boats to get there whales!

If you have an opportunity to go to Alaska do stop by Homer. In the middle of the inlet is a rock called bird rock and at any time there are as many as fifteen species on that rock
I enjoyed you're photos of the gull's, Alaska is my home. I dearly miss the photo opportunities that are there. :thumbup:
