Attu, May 27

Our last day on Attu — we’re heading out of Massacre Bay as I write this — and as you may expect, it was our best day (well, it’s tied with the day we found the Solitary Snipe) so we’re a bit reluctant to leave.  Mike “King Toochinkhamun” Toochin came through yet again with a Red-flanked Bluetail at Tattler Creek and a female Siberian Rubythroat, a Rustic Bunting, and Bramblings in West Massacre Valley.  Denny Hodsdon turned up a flock of Hawfinches in Navy Town.  I also saw a Hawfinch flying overhead plus a female Brambling in West Massacre, and on the walk out of the valley, most of us saw a flyover Wood Sandpiper.
