Friday, January 18 Impressive bird list (not mine)

Seward, Alaska

Just for the record in case you missed it on eBird:

Phenomenal birders Brad Benter and Scott Schuette whizzed down to Seward on Friday. After 3 hours and 49 minutes of serious birding that included driving 33.4 miles, they tallied 38 species.

YES, they found the PIED-BILLED GREBE.

Highlights for me included:

24 TRUMPETER SWANS
1 GREEN-WINGED TEAL
25 ROCK SANDPIPERS
12 MARBLED MURRELETS
1 HERMIT THRUSH with 25 ROBINS

I'm still looking for that Hermit Thrush and several others.

Good job!

Happy Birding!
