<\/a>Peekaboo!<\/p><\/div>\n
We found that the Hawfinch had moved down the hill to the Thrush Feeder (probably because the rat at the National Forest was eating all of the bird seed!).<\/p>\n

The Eye-browed Thrush was not seen today.<\/p>\n
At the Warbler Willows, we did not have any warblers, but this Lapland Longspur posed nicely.<\/p>\n

At Lake Andrew, we had a Common Loon and another one from the Palisades Overlook.<\/p>\n
Up at the Seawall, we finally found a lone Black-legged Kittiwake out on Goose Rocks and a lone Horned Grebe at Janet\u2019s Cove. We normally have dozens of Red-necked Grebes and a dozen Horned Grebes here in May, but this is the only grebe we have seen so far. And the other birding groups before us did not do much better. Don\u2019t know why…<\/p>\n
Parasitic Jaegers are hard to photograph because they are an all-dark bird. So this pair in decent lighting was a treat.<\/p>\n

As we were going back to town, we stopped to scan the beach near where the Whimbrels were yesterday and found one out on the beach. As we continued down the road, the other two flushed off of the sand dunes, were joined by their beach-mate and flew back up the beach.<\/p>\n
After dinner, I went back out with Chris and Jon and we had a pair of American Wigeons in Sweeper Channel. A species we had missed so far this trip. Eurasian Wigeons are the “common” ones out here, but each year, a few Americans show up.<\/p>\n

No new lifers or Adak birds so far, but still not a bad first week.<\/p>\n
