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.
