Seward Sporadic Bird Report
Ava reported 25-30 SNOW GEESE headed up the Resurrection
River valley on Sunday.
Around 8 am this morning, I watched a small flock of about
40 HERRING GULLS rise higher and higher against the strong NNW wind until they
were just winking white specks against the blue sky, heading north along and
above the snowy mountains.
This afternoon, I spotted a GOLDEN EAGLE soaring high above
the mountains on the east side of Resurrection Bay.
Back in town by Lowell Creek, the GLAUCOUS GULL took a nap
while the GLAUCOUS-WINGED GULLS and HERRING GULLS bathed, courted, and
screeched.
The first winter BLACK SCOTER male dove for mussels at the B
Street pilings along the bay south of Scheffler Creek/ harbor uplands. His only
companions were a pair of BARROW'S GOLDENEYES.
Happy Birding!
