Seward, Alaska
Sunrise 9:05 am, sunset 4:23 pm for a total day length of 7 hours and 18 minutes. Tomorrow will be 4 minutes and 29 seconds shorter.
Cold and clear today continued with a low of 7 and a high of 11. Strong NNW winds 10-13 mph with gusts to 32 mph pushed the wind chill into the negatives. Brrrr! No snow on the ground, at least not in town.
Thanks to a tip from Robin, I found a lone SNOW GOOSE hunkered down against the wind, eating grass along the Waterfront bike path. First reported two days ago, this a very late bird! I didn’t see any Snow Geese in the spring or fall migration this year so it was quite a surprise to have one here now.
The blasting wind and cold may help reduce the usual pedestrian and dog traffic on the path and give this poor goose a chance to fuel up before it flies south.
Happy Birding!
