No new birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got distant photos of the 4 Tufted Ducks on Andrew Lake.<\/p>\n\n\n

A little later, I had a fifth one on Shotgun Lake. It flew before a photo op, but it was similar to one I had either last year or the year before, in that it had white undertail coverts. An uncommon variant among Tufteds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I picked up Crested Auklet for the trip list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday I got the mandatory rainbow shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I got the mandatory Bald Eagle head shot.<\/p>\n\n\n

While walking around the Andrew Lake Rec Center area, I cam across this poor mortal. It’s tough on Adak…<\/p>\n\n\n

Most of it was dead, but a small clump of foliage persisted…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomorrow is plane day, but the weather looks marginal at best. The VENT group is scheduled to depart and Marc Kramer and friends are due in. We shall see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trip list is at 50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see the total list at https:\/\/ebird.org\/tripreport\/576221<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Note: the eBird Trip List does not show the Gyrfalcon records for some eBird policy…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Adak Year List remains at 98.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
