The Cape St Elias Lightkeepers Association in Cordova, Alaska is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the Cape St Elias Lighthouse. The lighthouse has been in operation since 1907, when it was built to guide ships safely into Cordova's harbor. The association works to maintain the lighthouse and its surrounding grounds, which are located on the eastern tip of Montague Island, just off the coast of Cordova.

The association also works to promote public awareness of the lighthouse and its importance to the maritime industry. Through educational programs and tours, the association seeks to educate the public about the lighthouse's history and legacy. The association also offers a research library for those interested in researching the lighthouse and its history.

In addition to educational programs and tours, the association also organizes and hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the annual Lighthouse Festival, the annual Lightkeepers Reunion, and the annual Lightkeeper’s Ball. These events are a great way for visitors to get a firsthand look at the lighthouse and its history.

The association is also actively involved in local preservation efforts. They are working to restore the lighthouse to its original condition, as well as to make sure that it is properly maintained and preserved for future generations. The association also works closely with the local government and other organizations to ensure that the lighthouse remains a safe and secure part of the Cordova community.

Grooming otters Northern Sea Otter - Enhydra lutris kenyoni This pair of otters put on quite a show, playfully grooming in Cordova Harbor. This was a consolation prize for the very slow birding. A local guide/friend told us "we should have been there last week". Usually this is a good spot for shorebirds, but we saw almost nothing.
