Seward, Alaska
Yesterday, the Burkes briefly spotted
the SWAMP SPARROW at Ava's with 6 AMERICAN TREE SPARROWS and
JUNCOS. This bird takes some patience and perhaps several attempts. I did not see it today, and did not receive any reports of it being seen today.
Today Kit and Janet reported the female
HOODED MERGANSER swimming with COMMON MERGANSERS in the stream along the north
side of NASH ROAD west of Salmon Creek. This is a new location for this bird.
Tasha spotted the KILLDEER
around 2 pm today followed by several birders. It was feeding in the tidal
rocky habitat straight out from shore, at Afognak Beach, Mile 3 Nash Road.
I found one RED-FACED
CORMORANT, 2 males and 1 female LONG-TAILED DUCKS, and a MARBLED MURRELET at the SMIC Boat Basin, Mile 5 Nash Road. A COMMON LOON dove far offshore
with 2 SURF SCOTERS.
Kit and Janet reported the
BRAMBLING with JUNCOS feeding in the Mt Ash trees in the alley south of Madison
Street between First and Second Avenue; BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS, ROBINS, PINE
GROSBEAKS nearby.
No reports of the WHITE-THROATED
SPARROW at Lowell Point.
Towards sunset, I found three
GADWALL feeding south of the Uplands by Scheffler Creek.
Thanks to everyone for your
reports.
Happy Birding!
