Another nice day on Adak. A little windy, but not too bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up at Clam Lagoon, I spotted two Emperor Geese out on the flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I new that Vicky and Jen were in the area, so I called them and they arrived to add them to their trip list before flying home today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Marsh, a Pectoral Sandpiper walked right up to my car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find many Pecs out here are rather tame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seeing the girls off at the airport, I headed up to the Loran Station. It was pouring rain last week when I tried, so I thought today might be a little better. And with the WNW winds, I thought maybe the seabirds would be closer in. NOT!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were lots of Short-tailed Shearwaters and Laysan Albatrosses flying by, but way out. Identifiable in the scope, but not very satisfying. And no Black-footed or Short-tailed albatross\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way back, I stopped at the National Forest feeder. Too bad the rosy-finches don\u2019t like my feeders\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had two Bramblings at the Thrush Feeder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t see many sunsets out here (cloudy), so tonight’s was special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is Kuluk Bay in the fading light. Note the moon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am now the only hardcore birder on the island for the next three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip list is 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
