Weather, October 5, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Only added Emperor Goose to the trip list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jaeger was indeterminate, so just a Jaeger, sp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winds were still strong. If only I had a few more days for the wind to calm down to make looking for passerines easier…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summary, it was a great trip!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m still getting lifers on Adak after all these years and in spite of the law of diminishing returns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two lifers (and therefore 2 Adak List birds): Song Thrush and Mottled Petrel<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One semi-Adak Bird: Male Ring-necked Duck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tubenose show in Kuluk Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birds seen by others on the island while I was there, but that I did not see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short-eared Owl
Pomarine Jaeger
Short-tailed Albatross
Lesser Scaup
Bewick\u201bs Swan
Ruddy Turnstone
Common Snipe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lowlights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing the Short-tailed Albatross<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Species usually seen this time of year, but were missing:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ancient Murrelet and Horned Puffin. I have never missed a Horned Puffin on ANY trip to Adak! I have missed Ancient Murrelet on a few trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trip List was 65. A new high for Fall. Previous high was 63 in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Year’s List was 93 (one shy of 2017).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
