Temps in the 40s, overcast with on-and-off rain in the morning, some breaks in the clouds in the afternoon, wind SW 20-30 in the morning switching to NE 10-15 by afternoon.

Poor birding weather this morning changed by afternoon.

I picked up a few birds for the trip list, but nothing rare.

At Andrew Lake, there were a lot of passerines flitting about, but just Snow Buntings and longspurs.

At the Seawall, I found some White-winged Scoters.

Also there, I had several Short-tailed Shearwaters in the distance.

I drove out to the Loran Station in the fog and picked up Tufted Puffin and Pacific Wren.

Back at Clam Lagoon, I had a Black Oystercatcher.

After arriving home, showering, and eating dinner, I saw a post about a Lesser Yellowlegs at Clam Lagoon. That would be a new Adak bird for me. So I saddled up and headed up there.

When I got there, I scanned the flats and saw the Bar-tailed Godwit that others had reported since yesterday, but no yellowlegs.

I drove up to the peninsula and scanned from there. No luck.

So I walked the west marsh edge from north to south and back again. No yellowlegs.

Maybe tomorrow.

At the bridge over Sweeper Creek, a Bald Eagle posed for my phone’s camera. This is the full frame just to show you how tame the eagles are up here.

The Trip List is 55.
