There wasn’t as much action today as on previous days. There were relatively few albatrosses (Laysan and Black-footed) and alcids. But we intercepted a stream of thousands of Short-tailed Shearwaters off and on throughout the day. Kirk spotted a probable Mottled Petrel, but it was too far away for a positive ID. Between Umnak and Unalaska islands, a few Red-legged Kittiwakes flew overhead. One of them circled the boat a few times before continuing on its way. Then as we approached Dutch Harbor, we found a few small flocks of Whiskered Auklets.
The trip is now finished. Check back in a few days for a photo gallery…and of course keep an eye on the website or e-mail me for info if you’re interested in coming along next year.
