Went down to Kenai yesterday, Jan. 2, and spent three hours looking along Kenai riverfront for ivory gull as did Toby, Todd E., and Ken Tarbox. No luck. Some...
(Apologies for the cross-post to the two birding lists, but I thought this might be interesting to at least some people from different parts of the state.) ...
Cecily saw a Robin near the Palmer Library on January 2nd. I assume its the same bird Dave and Wendy Carter reported a short time back. Paul Fritz, Palmer...

I am new at bird identification, and had this one visit my feeder today, I live in the Memory Lake subdivision in Wasilla. I tried to find it in my book but...
Hi Marguerite! That is a beautiful Steller Jay you have. Your pictures are really nice! Dody...Knik River Road ... -- Dody http://kettleralaska.blogspot.com/ ...
The bird is a Steller's Jay. The ones we have in Alaska are darker and do not have the white streaking around the head that is shown in some bird books. One...
Well, you're doing great on the photography and not bad on the IDs. Dody identified the Steller's Jay for you. Among the others, the one labelled "Hawk" is an...
Thank you Dody, Dick and Chris!! I knew it would turn out to be something common, lol. The book I am using showed the blue on the body to be a sky blue, the...
Hi Marguerite, I think the adult cormorant on the left in your comorant group shot is a Red-faced Cormorant. That bird has enough pale facial skin around the...
I have a note referencing an old Cinnamon Teal sighting from the 60's on Tustumena Lake. I am having trouble finding any more info about this sighting....
Rich, I found and posted, in my album here, a close-up of my original photo (digital) to show the detail in the face and bill. I can see the details you...
A Northern Hawk Owl spent a few hours in the Turnagain Neighborhood at the north half of Foraker Drive on Sunday (1/7). I saw it 2-3 times being pursued by...

For those of you who missed this in the Anchorage Daily News on December 30 - here are the results from the anchorage CBC held on December 16. Audubon...
Nice photos Marguerite! I think the unnamed sparrow is a Lincoln's--it has the buffy stripes on its face and very crisp streaks on its chest, like someone...
January 8 THede's Hawk Owl was seen about 5 blocks further east on Loussac Drive at 3 PM today. It was on the east side of the road sitting on the top of a...

I noticed that Marguerite's red-faced cormorant family photo was shot in Prince William Sound. We here in Seward brag about being the eastern-most edge of its...
Thank you Beth! I am not positive of the habitat, its just been too long ago. I think it was up at Hatcher Pass, in the area where there is still brush but ...
Thank you Carol! The boat trip out of Seward is my very favorite place to bring visitors. The bird rookeries are a fantastic site, as of course are the other...
At lunchtime today, I had to run home and found that flock of 200+ waxwings visiting the trees in/around my house (off Strawberry between Northwood and Jewel...
The Anchorge Christmas Bird count has no Golden crowned kinglets although my group saw one and reported it and I was pretty sure I heard that others also had...
Hi Georgia, It looks as if the URL that you provided for the waxwing wing images has apparently been changed. The correct URL is <http://www.ups.edu/ ...
I had a report about a week ago from a lady who thought she saw Rosy Finches at her feeder near Boniface and Tudor. She had seen them several days in a row,...
Yes, Whitekeys, I did see a lone Gray-crowned Rosy-finch at a feeder near DeArmoun and Old Seward Highway. The homeowners were very gracious to let me enter...
Marguerite, I have to agree with Chris Maack that your sparrow is a Savannah. I've banded hundreds of Savannahs and Lincoln's Sparrows, and your photo just...
Thanks for your note Nancy, I didn't know fall Savannah's' lost their yellow (and I'm definitely no sparrow expert!). Learn something new every day! Beth...
