Locations found: 1 named sites across 1 photos
Named only where the pixels, the photographer's filename or GPS support it. 24 photos carry no named site at all, and a further 0 carry a low-confidence name shown as a chip but deliberately kept out of the caption. This pool has very little place evidence in frame: no site signage, and only 3 of 25 frames carry GPS. An honest blank is used rather than a guess. Every derived name is marked "needs check" for you to confirm, and the evidence behind each call is printed under the description.

A cream-white bear stands in a shallow forest stream holding a live salmon crosswise in its jaws, mossy logs and wet rock behind it.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
96no named locationCream-to-blond coat with a brown-pink nose, dark eyes and black-bear head shape (straight profile, tall rounded ears, no shoulder hump) is the white-phase black bear, not a blond grizzly and not an albino. The salmon in the jaws and the rainforest creek make this the single strongest frame in the batch.

Five orcas surface in a line on glassy water at sunset, one blowing, forested ridges silhouetted behind an orange sky.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
95no named locationTall triangular and falcate dorsal fins with the pale saddle patch just visible on the surfacing backs, plus a bushy blow, read unambiguously as orca. Forested low hills and a sheltered inland waterway fit the region, but nothing in frame is a named landmark, so no place call.

A humpback whale breaches clear of green water directly in front of a dense rainforest shoreline, water sheeting off its arched body.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
92no named locationThe knobbly leading edge of the rostrum and the long body arcing over with white flank blotches read humpback. Cedar and hemlock growing right down to a barnacled rock shore is classic temperate rainforest coast, which is exactly why I will not name a place: this shoreline is indistinguishable from Southeast Alaska.
Whale breaching_Kali_Wexler.JPG
Humpback whales surface together in a feeding lunge, one with its mouth wide open showing baleen and throat pleats, gulls scattering above them.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
91no named locationOpen mouth with the baleen rack and pink gape visible, plus tubercled rostrums on the adjacent animals, is textbook humpback lunge feeding. Same behaviour and same shoreline character as bcb-0003, so I grouped them. No landmark, no place call.
Whales feeding_GBR_Kali Wexler.JPG
Three humpback whales surface open-mouthed together in a feeding lunge while dozens of gulls wheel and dive over them, dark conifer shoreline behind.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
90no named locationKnobbed rostrum tubercles, barnacled jaw and expanded ventral pleats confirm humpback, and the gull flock working the same bait ball confirms cooperative surface feeding. Steep second-growth conifer shore could be anywhere on this coast or in Southeast Alaska, so no place named.
GBR_Whales feeding_seagulls_Kali WexlerJPG
A large wet brown bear stands mid-river in shallow rapids, head turned toward the camera, water running off its flanks, likely Orford Bay, British Columbia.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
90Orford Bay mediumPronounced muscular shoulder hump standing higher than the rump, dished facial profile, small rounded ears set low and wide, and a blond-faced grizzled coat: this one is a grizzly and not a black bear. Sunlit bedrock river channel gives scale but no place.
Grizzly Bear close up_Michael Poliza.jpg
Four dolphins leap clear of grey open water, the nearest fully airborne and trailing a curtain of spray.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
88no named locationDark cape, pale grey flank stripe sweeping to the tailstock, white belly, sharply hooked bicolour dorsal fin and a very short beak are all Pacific white-sided dolphin. Featureless water and flat grey light give no location cue at all.
GBR_Dolphins jumping_Kali Wexler.JPG
A bald eagle drops toward green river water with wings held high and one talon reaching for the surface.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
88no named locationWhite head and yellow bill say bald eagle, but the body carries scattered white mottling and the tail is not fully clean white, so this is a bird a moult short of full adult rather than the clean adult in bcb-0011. Pale scraps drifting in the green water look like spawned salmon, which fits a river fishing scene, but I cannot name the river.
Eagle landing fishing.jpg
A black bear stands in a creek facing the camera with a whole salmon gripped in its jaws, water flicking off its wet fur.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
87no named locationUniform black coat, tan muzzle, tall pointed ears set wide, straight facial profile and no shoulder hump: black bear, not grizzly. Mossy boulders and a shaded creek channel are generic rainforest, no place call possible.
Black bear w_ salmon.jpg
A single dolphin leaps fully clear of blue water, body horizontal, with a rocky forested shore soft behind it.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
86no named locationBlack back, crisp white belly and pale grey flank patch, blunt short beak and a strongly hooked dorsal with a light rear half: Pacific white-sided dolphin. Portrait crop limits hero use. Background bluff is unremarkable, no location.
Orca Whale breaching_Kali_Wexler.JPG
Close portrait of a black bear on a barnacled shoreline, head turned three-quarters to the camera with its brown muzzle catching the light.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
86no named locationGlossy black coat, tan-brown muzzle, tall rounded ears and a straight roman profile with no shoulder hump: black bear. Same white barnacle and rockweed shoreline as bcb-0010, so I grouped the two as one intertidal encounter.
Black bear close up_Kali Wexler.jpg
Two humpback whales surface in the foreground with their blows hanging in backlit mist, a small expedition ship at anchor beyond them and rafts of seabirds on the water between.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
85no named locationBroad dark backs with the low humpback dorsal and the tall columnar blows drifting in still air. The vessel is a small steel expedition ship, present for scale rather than as the subject. Backlit haze against a dark forest wall gives the frame its mood but no identifying feature.
GBR_yacht background mist whales_Kali WexlerJPG
An adult bald eagle banks low over dark blue water with wings raised and both feet dropped and open.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
85no named locationClean white head and tail against a dark brown body with a heavy yellow bill and yellow feet is an adult bald eagle, and the dropped open talons show it is about to take something off the surface. Water fills the frame, so there is nothing to locate on.

A black bear works barnacle-covered rocks at the tide line in dim light, its full reflection held in the still green water below.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
84no named locationAll-black coat with a tan muzzle, tall rounded ears and a level back with no hump: black bear. Dense white barnacle and rockweed cover shows a big tidal range on a sheltered shore. Cold blue cast and low contrast put this at dusk or deep shade.
Black bear_reflection_Kali Wexler.JPG
Three dolphins leap together out of backlit water in a burst of spray, a dark misted forest wall behind them.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
84no named locationBacklighting flattens the flank pattern, but the body size, short beak and hooked bicolour dorsal fins in a tight synchronised group match the Pacific white-sided dolphins elsewhere in this batch. Backlit spray against a dark forest is the strongest part of the frame.

A bald eagle launches off the same weathered stump, wings spread and debris flicking from its talons, rain falling across a straw-coloured meadow.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
82no named locationSame bird, same stump and same rain as bcb-0014, caught one beat later at takeoff, which makes it the stronger of the pair. Adult bald eagle on head, tail and bill colour.

A wet adult bear walks through tall estuary sedge and grass in falling rain with two cubs following behind, a mossy rock bluff and river beyond.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
80no named locationThe sow shows a visible shoulder rise and a grizzled brown coat and is working an open estuary sedge flat with two cubs, all of which fits coastal grizzly. But the fur is soaked flat, the light is dull and the face is turned away, so the hump is not conclusive from these pixels. I am calling it likely rather than certain and flagging it.

A Steller sea lion launches head-first off a barnacled rock into blue water while another rests above it and several swim below.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
79no named locationTawny blond bulk, thick neck and blunt muzzle on the diving animal, hauled out on barnacle-crusted rock with gulls: Steller sea lion. Bright direct sun and deep blue water. Nothing locatable in the rock or shoreline.

A bald eagle perches on a weathered stump in a wet estuary meadow with rain streaking across the frame.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
78no named locationWhite head and tail, dark body, yellow bill: adult bald eagle. Same stump, same rain and same golden sedge as bcb-0017, so it is one sitting. Grasses have gone straw-coloured, which reads late season, but that is not a location.
Bald eagle on log_GBR_Kali Wexler.JPG
A dozen Steller sea lions crowd a low wave-washed rock in wind and rain, one bull with its head thrown back roaring, a gull passing above.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
77no named locationBulky tawny animals with thick necks and blunt muzzles hauled out on a surf-washed rock: Steller sea lion. Misty conifer point behind and swell breaking over the ledge show an exposed outer-coast haul-out, but the rock has no identifying shape.
Sea Lions_GBR_Kali Wexler.JPG
Four sea lions swim close together at the surface in blue water, the nearest holding its head high and looking straight at the camera.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
76no named locationTawny blond-brown pelage, heavy blunt muzzle and broad flat forehead without the raised sagittal crest of a California sea lion point to Steller. Blue chop and nothing else in frame, so location is impossible.

A woman sits in the bow of an aluminum skiff watching a group of small cetaceans porpoising toward the boat across a calm forested channel.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
72no named locationThe animals are only visible as rooster-tail splashes and one dark back just under the surface, so I will not name the species. The value here is the guest moment: a person in a skiff with animals coming to the boat in flat calm.

A small pod of orcas surfaces together on flat pale water with layered blue mountain ridges on the horizon.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
70no named locationFour black dorsal fins of different heights in one tight group is a family of orcas, including at least one adult male by fin height. Shot from a distance in flat light so it is a record frame rather than a hero. Distant ranges are too hazy to identify.

A Steller sea lion lies sprawled on a barnacle-covered rock with one foreflipper stretched out, looking back at the camera.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
65no named locationBlond-tan pelage over a heavy body with a broad blunt muzzle and long foreflippers: Steller sea lion. Softer and lower resolution than the rest of the batch, so it is a supporting frame. Rock and barnacle fill the frame with no location cue.
Seal on rock_Colin Griffinson.jpg
A humpback whale breaches vertically in the middle of a wide channel under scattered cumulus, ranked forested and rocky mountains on both sides.
✎ This text is the AI Caption. It is the only thing written into Canto.
62no named locationThe whale is small and soft in the frame and looks like a phone capture, so it documents the moment rather than delivering it. Body shape and the vertical spy-hop-into-breach posture read humpback but the animal is too distant to be certain of much beyond a large baleen whale. Wide glacially cut channel with steep timbered walls, no named landmark.
