Seward, Alaska
What an amazing sight! TWO juvenile SHARP-TAILED SANDPIPERS feeding companionably at the tidelands, bulking up for the next leg of their journey south. Bon voyage wherever you fly!
Of note, yesterday a flash mob of about 18 BOHEMIAN WAXWINGS raced overhead past Preacher Pond, the first of the fall season. Two pairs of late GREEN-WINGED TEAL joined the diminishing numbers of NORTHERN PINTAILS (also late), MALLARDS, and COMMON MERGANSERS hunkered down in the lee of the island at Preacher Pond.
A WILSON’S SNIPE circled around the Lagoon at Dairy Hill Lane while a dozen MALLARDS stretched for silver salmon eggs below. Two silvers spawned near the culvert inlet, a race against time.
Happy Birding!
