Last day of this trip.

Got a better photo of the Horned Lark.

Horned Lark, Oct 10, 2026

As I arrived at Clam Lagoon, Marc informed me they had a Vega Gull out on the flats.

I got it and added it to my list. (It flew before a photo)

All flights home were on time and uneventful.

The trip list is at 61.

You can see the total list at https://ebird.org/tripreport/576221

For some reason, the Gyrfalcon records are now shown on the Trip Report…

A great trip!

Not as great as May (5 new birds), but fun nontheless.

I got 2 new bird for Adak Island (Magnolia Warbler and Horned Lark).

Of course they were new birds for my Adak Life List which now stands at 180!

I set a record for my Annual Adak List of 103.

Biggest miss: Olive-backed Pipit (would have been a lifer).

Good birds, good birders…

I will be back in May.
