Hi friends,
Things seem to be rather quite in the Volunteer State now, so I thought I'd
pass along a few sightings from St. Paul Island, in Alaska's Pribilofs.
Best birds seen since 9 May include the following (all in National Geographic
field guide):
Emperor Goose
Tufted Duck
Steller's Eider
Yellow-billed Loon
Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel
Common Greenshank
Wood Sandpiper
Bristle-thighed Curlew
Bar-tailed Godwit
Common (not Wilson's) Snipe
Slaty-backed Gull
Ross's Gull
Common Tern (Siberian subspecies - a likely split)
Common Cuckoo
Gray-streaked (Gray-spotted) Flycatcher
Northern Wheatear
Yellow Wagtail
Olive-backed Pipit
McKay's Bunting
Brambling
Hawfinch
The weather here is cool (40s), cloudy, foggy, and windy.
To paraphrase Mark Twain, "the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer at St.
Paul Is." But good birding and nice people make up for it.
Looking forward to a warm September in Tennessee.
