Tom and Janet Kuehl were on the Wildside Nature Tours ALASKA BIRDING tour in June 2025. Tom will present a photographic tour of the flora and fauna of the rugged coastline, expansive tundra habitat and wildlife, and summer colors of Nome and the surrounding area. The tour tallied 91 bird and 9 mammal species, and Tom will share his photographic highlights from among the most spectacular of these species. If time allows Tom will be prepared to share a few more of the highlights from the other areas they visited on the Tour.

Tom and Janet are longtime members of very many Western Pennsylvania bird and nature clubs, and Audubon chapters. Tom and Janet became avid birders in the late 1990’s and are prolific participants in citizen science projects – Christmas Bird Counts, Pennsylvania’s Winter Raptors Survey Project, Breeding Bird Surveys (now retired) and served as regional coordinators in the Second Pennsylvania Breeding Bird Atlas.
