| 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).

| 6/10+11/2017: Barrow, AK: A light snow had fallen during the 1 hour night and it was freezing out! We considered missing Florida for all of a minute before we tore on our 5 layers of warm stuff and hurried back to see if the Eiders were around. We found 3 King Eider pairs on their little island. (Click on NEXT PAGE below for more King Eider, and Steller's, and Spectacled Eider pics.) |
| 6/10+11/2017: Barrow, AK: Three Red-necked Phalarope females fought over a duller plumaged male (Sex role reversal where the male incubates the egg and raises the young.) and all hell broke loose in a quiet little pond in Barrow, Alaska. |
| 6/10+11/2017: Barrow, AK: Long-billed Dowitcher , Lapland Longspur , Pectoral Sandpiper , Western Sandpiper , Dunlin, and Semipalmated Sandpiper . |
