Well, we got a stint today! Unfortunately, it was a Red-necked, not a Long-toed.<\/p>\n

We birded most of the \u201cusual\u201d spots, seeing the expected species. Lots of young Lapland Longspurs, Aleutian Song Sparrows, Aleutian Gray-crowned Rosy Finches, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Common Teal, Mallards, etc.<\/p>\n

The Bald Eagles, gulls, and ravens were feeding on the salmon runs which are just about over. <\/p>\n

In mid-afternoon, Frank walked out the peninsula on Clam Lagoon and found four shorebirds; three Western Sandpipers and a dark-legged juvenile Stint. Having absolutely no experience with juvenile stints, he took a lot of photos in hopes of pinning it down later. Since it was possibly a Little Stint (a lifer), Barb trudged out to see it as well. Although we hoped it was a Little, we both felt it was probably a Red-necked. Later that afternoon, Isaac pointed out to us the salient features that confirmed our suspicions (but not desires) that it was a Red-necked.

\nNote the fairly pale coverts (Little has much darker) and the lack of streaking on the breast (it is more of a wash).<\/p>\n

Our bodies are still adjusting to the time zone difference (5 hours), so we are exhausted at 6 in the evening! We will be well-adjusted just in time to return home…<\/p>\n

Note: the date that I put on the Three-toed Woodpecker photo should have been 9\/11, not 9\/10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
