Arrival to Winnipeg, Canada, transfer to a nice hotel.

Morning flight to Churchill, Manitoba.  Check in to hotel and afternoon town and wildlife photo tour.  Hotel: Polar Inn and Suites, this is one of the few hotels in Churchill with en suite bathrooms.

Each day we will have two adventures, over the course of the workshop we will have 9 vehicle safaris where we go locate the wildlife by vehicle and then get out to photograph.  Polar Bears are our top target.  At this time of year they are starting to arrive in the area but not in large numbers yet.  So when we find a bear we will typically spend a long time with it.  Often they will be resting when we find them but eventually they will typically get up and walk around.  However, we will be on the lookout for other wildlife including both Arctic and Red Foxes which are usually easily approached, Arctic Hares and a wide variety of birds including Bald Eagles and other raptors, Snow Geese, Common Eiders and a wide variety of waterfowl, shorebirds, loons, grebes, Sandhill Cranes and smaller birds such as Lapland Longspurs, Redpolls and Rusty Blackbirds. On the 3 zodiac boat tours, the main targets are the Beluga Whales which congregate in Hudson’s Bay in the tens of thousands at this time of year.  Sometimes Polar Bears are also seen and photographed on the zodiac tours.  We will be on the lookout during these trips for various gulls, terns and jaegers.   Hotel: The Polar Inn and Suites.

We will have one more Polar Bear and wildlife safari, then return to our hotel, check out and in the afternoon fly back to Winnipeg, Manitoba.  A nice hotel in Winnipeg.

Transfer to the airport for your return trip home.
