Attu, May 21-23

Our first three days at Attu were by all accounts slow.  There have been north winds for several weeks now with no real break.  But there have been a few Asian birds, just no where near as many as we would have liked or expected.  On May 21, there were 2 Wood Sandpipers in the runway ponds.  On May 22, Mike “The Tooch” Toochin found a male Rustic Bunting in West Massacre Valley.  We received word early on May 23 that a Hawfinch was seen briefly the night before along the Henderson River.  It was refound this morning while two clients and myself were biking up to look for it.  We got a look at it, but it didn’t stick around for the rest of the group to see it.

After birding, we moved the boat over to Alexai Point.
