No Hobby today…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Sweeper Channel, I found one of the few American Green-winged Teal that are around.<\/p>\n\n\n

At the seawatch at Sweeper Cove, I found the White-winged Scoters that I saw yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n

The big excitement was a couple of Parakeet Auklets found at the Kuluk Bay Kelp Bed. They were between the Kelp Bed and the shore, so a decent view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, they spent more time underwater than above, so they were very difficult to photograph. I didn’t get any photos, but some of the others birders did. None of the auklets are regularly seen from the Adak shoreline, so this was a nice trip bird. I have had one other shoreline sighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Common Gull was more cooperative today and I got some better photos.<\/p>\n\n\n

Does this look like George Washington?<\/p>\n\n\n

A day-and-a-half to go…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
