| 6/2/2017 thru 6/20/17 We traveled around Alaska! After a brief stop in Anchorage, we flew to Adak Island in the Aleutian chain where we met up with John of Zungunruhe Birding Tours and had a great pelagic trip (3 albatross species!). Thanks, John and the crew of the Puk uk! Then it was on to Barrow (phalaropes and eiders!), Nome (Bristle-thighed Curlew and Golden Eagle nest!), and finally out to the nesting cliffs of St Paul Island (Red-legged Kittiwake and puffins AND where we ran into a herd of 200 reindeer). Click on NEXT PAGE below to go back in time. More pics coming soon. |
| 6/7/2017: Adak Island, AK: The last day of our 3 day pelagic tour: Whiskered Auklet , Parakeet Auklet , Least Auklet , Peregrine Falcon waiting , Red-faced Cormorant nesting, and some Horned Puffins taking off. We catch more puffins on St Paul's Island later in our trip. |
| 6/7/2017: Adak Island, AK: The last day of our 3 day pelagic tour. We had an amazing experience with Crested Auklet flocks swarming around us in the sun. Images can't do justice - it was simply amazing and overwhelmingly beautiful! Also, Black-legged Kittiwake nests , and a Black Oystercatcher trio. |
| 6/8/2017: Adak Island, AK: Back on Adak Island after the amazing pelagic trip, we grabbed the opportunity to see some land birds as well: Rock Ptarmigan , Bald Eagle , Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch , and Rock Sandpiper. We saw Common and Wilson's Snipe (Hmm..which is which...) along with an interesting subspecies of Song Sparrow . |
