What a loverly day on Adak…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Temp 50, overcast, intermittent rain, wind ENE 25-30 mph<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather, Sept 29, 2023<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hard birding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even many of the eagles stayed grounded!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Longspurs were hard to come by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a few highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a Common Snipe at the Marsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two young Horned Puffins at Sweeper Cove (too far for photos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had bemoaned the lack of kittiwakes other than at the Loran Station. Well not today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I counted at least 155 in Sweeper Cove.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In lieu of birds, here are some scenes from today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the roadbed is undercut by several feet on both sides. I hope they fix this before my next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trip List remains at 65 and the Annual List at 86.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s eBird list can be seen at https:\/\/ebird.org\/checklist\/S151044751<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eBird Trip Report can be seen at https:\/\/ebird.org\/tripreport\/160488<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I leave tomorrow, so my next post will not be until Monday morning or Sunday night, depending on how tired I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather conditions will be much better tomorrow, so maybe I will get lucky and find something that today’s winds blew in… But not much birding time tomorrow (only a few hours).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
