Greetings from St. Paul Island in Alaska's Pribilof Islands:

The first month of my summer-long stay here has been very good.  Westerly winds 
have kindly blown a few Asian vagrants our way, including Common Greenshank, 
Wood Sandpiper, Com. Snipe, Common Cuckoo, Eyebrowed Thrush, Olive-backed 
Pipit, Siberian Rubythroat, Brambling, and Tufted Duck.  Whew!!  Throw in 
regulars like Red-legged Kittiwake, Horned & Tufted Puffin, Least & Crested 
Auklets, etc and you can understand my excitement.  The weather here is cool 
(30-45 degrees), windy, cloudy, & often foggy.  Tour groups have been coming 
steadily, keeping us busy -- but that's why we're here.  

Hope all is well there.
I sure do miss trees & warm temperatures.
