Temp in the 40s, mostly cloudy, occasional light shower, Wind SW 20-30 mph<\/p>\n

The wind is supposed to have a westerly bent for the rest of our stay, so things should be picking up.<\/p>\n

Today was the first day of sustained SW wind, so we hope tomorrow will bear fruit.<\/p>\n

We had several loons today, including 4 Pacific, 1 Arctic, 1 Common, and 1 Red-throated. The Arctic was a trip bird.<\/p>\n

The only other new trip bird today was a Green-winged Teal (American – vertical stripe). The most abundant duck on Adak is the Common Teal (Eurasian – horizontal stripe). The Europeans have split Common from Green-winged, but the Americans have not (except us!).<\/p>\n

Here is a shot of a common Teal.<\/p>\n

So, OUR trip list stands at 59.<\/p>\n

The Tufted Duck was back on Lake Shirley today. We did not see the Gadwall, as most of the ducks took off as we rounded the bend.<\/p>\n

There were only two Pacific Golden-Plovers today.<\/p>\n

More birders are arriving tomorrow. More eyes (more birds?)!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
