That is not a blue sky!! That’s cloud cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the weather you read about on Adak. and tomorrow might be worse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I saw few birds today, I got some photos of previously reported species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First was one of those Whimbrels that had been eluding me until yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n

With the strong east winds, pelagics were being blown in to shore. So several of the other birders set up sea-watches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spent a little time doing the same, but only found Short-tailed Shearwaters and Black-legged Kittiwakes. The kittiwakes were trip birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam Brayshaw found a Common Sandpiper today, but it was gone by the time others arrived to see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip list is at 79.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: This is higher than the below-listed eBird Trip Report, as I count Green-winged Teal and Common Teal as separate species…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve had only 2 spring trips higher than this one. The highest was 81 in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
