New birds keep showing up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Hawfinch and Brambling were found today and the number of Wood Sandpipers keeps growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We did not see the Brambling, but I got a quick glimpse of the Hawfinch (Don did not), and we are seeing Wood Sandpipers everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the tour groups had 27 today! Back in 2015, we had probably a hundred on the island. It looks like one of those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rock Ptarmigans are abundant this year, but we have not seen a single Common Raven!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Long-toed Stints, Aaron found a Red-necked Stint today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Taiga Flycatcher is still being seen, but not very cooperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we approached the Airport Ponds this morning, the three previously-reported Tufted Ducks were there, but flew off immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went up to the Loran Station this morning and had a lot of Short-tailed Shearwaters, Fulmars, and Laysan Albatrosses. Not real close, but identifiable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We later saw shearwaters and albatross from the Seawall as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just after the last overlook before getting to the Loran Station, we had the resident Pacific Wren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the north end of Clam Lagoon, we finally picked up some Marbled and Kittlitz’s murrelets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And finally, we had a couple of rainbows this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine more birders are arriving tomorrow, but ten are leaving…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip list is at 51 (average Spring trip is 63)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
