Temp in the 50s, overcast., rain … WAIT! That’s here at home, not Adak!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temp in the 50s, mostly cloudy, Wind WSW 15-25 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another windy day. Tough birding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flock of Black Scoters has grown to 56 and was joined by a Eurasian Wigeon (What was he doing out in the salt water?) out on Kuluk Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up at Adak National Forest, I finally got a nice look (and photo) of a Brambling for this trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of my flights home were early and my luggage arrived as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the strong WSW wind, we took off to the west, giving me a nice view of Sweeper Cove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a great trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip list was 58 (4 above average).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added three birds to my Adak List — Naumann’s Thrush (158), White-crowned Sparrow (159), and Eurasian Skylark (160).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And two Lifers — Naumann’s Thrush (729) and Eurasian Skylark (730)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Species that were seen by others while I was here, but not by me — Gray-tailed Tattler, Wood Sandpiper, Common Goldeneye, Parasitic Jaeger, Rough-legged Hawk, and Barn Swallow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Barn Swallow would have been a new Adak bird for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be back next May…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
