It rained most of the day today, making birding uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We saw at least 18 Wood Sandpipers today in multiple locations.<\/p>\n\n\n

The rain made photo ops rare today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We (very briefly) saw the Hawfinch at the Seal Drive feeder, but had better looks at the Brambling that was hanging nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Emperor Goose was still on Goose Rocks this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Wilderness Birding Adventures and High Lonesome tours left today, but nine new birders arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as the plane was leaving Adak, Sam called to report a Siberian Sand-Plover (I still prefer Mongolian Plover!) at Contractor’s Marsh. We, and some of the new birders, scoured the marsh, but could not relocate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed up to Clam Lagoon, and received a report from there of a Common Greenshank. We couldn’t find that one either, although others did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winds continue to pour in from the southwest, bringing new birds every day (even if we are not seeing all of them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the next few days (as the rain and wind diminish) look encouraging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Trip List is 52.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
