November 1st-6th • Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
Polar Bears of Hudson Bay (Maine Audubon Tour) TOUR IS FULL Every fall more than 1,000 polar bears gather along the west shore of Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, to wait for the sea ice to form that will give them access to the seals upon which they prey. During the few weeks from mid-October to early November these normally solitary bears—the world's largest terrestrial carnivores—are easily observed and photographed at extraordinarily close range from the safety of tundra buggies. Unquestionably it is one of the best wildlife viewing opportunities available anywhere. And in addition to the bears, there's a good chance of seeing other wildlife species, such as arctic hare, arctic fox, ptarmigan, snowy owl and gyrfalcon. Plus, if the weather cooperates, the northern lights put on a magnificent show. Churchill is an outpost town on the edge of the Canadian Arctic, but it is readily accessible and well equipped to accommodate visitors who travel there from around the world to see its wildlife. Note: this tour is completely “carbon neutral.” Contact: Maine Audubon, (207) 781-2330 x215 • trips@maineaudubon.org
