No Hobby today…

At Sweeper Channel, I found one of the few American Green-winged Teal that are around.

At the seawatch at Sweeper Cove, I found the White-winged Scoters that I saw yesterday.

The big excitement was a couple of Parakeet Auklets found at the Kuluk Bay Kelp Bed. They were between the Kelp Bed and the shore, so a decent view.

However, they spent more time underwater than above, so they were very difficult to photograph. I didn’t get any photos, but some of the others birders did. None of the auklets are regularly seen from the Adak shoreline, so this was a nice trip bird. I have had one other shoreline sighting.

The Common Gull was more cooperative today and I got some better photos.

Does this look like George Washington?

The trip list is at 86.

A day-and-a-half to go…
