Temp in the 50s, partly sunny, moderate SW winds.<\/p>\n
Our last day brought nothing new.\u00a0 However, at the seawall, the Short-tailed Shearwaters were only binocular-range offshore. But no albatross.<\/p>\n
Our flights home were uneventful and on time.<\/p>\n
We ended our trip with 60 species (I had made an error earlier in the trip, which made it look like 61).<\/p>\n
It was a great trip! Highlights were:<\/p>\n
Temminck’s Stint (Lifer!!)
\nRed Crossbill (1st Adak record)
\nLesser Sand-Plover (our 2nd)
\nLittle Stint (our 2nd)
\nRed-necked-Stint (for a stint tri-fecta!)
\nPacific White-sided Dolphins (Lifer)
\nHarbor Porpoise (lifer–that small lone porpoise that we had a few days ago)
\nJuvenile-plumaged Dunlin (semi-lifer)
\nlots of Sharp-tailed Sandpipers (our most ever)
\n8 Parasitic Jaegers (including one light morph)
\nBrambling<\/p>\n
We will return next May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
