We had two chestnut-backed chickadees at our Eagle River feeders in winter a couple years ago. We live up the South Fork of Eagle River up Hiland Road. Not too...
Thanks, Bob, that's good to know. Wednesday, down by Cooper Landing, I got some most excellent looks at boreal chickadees, and that confirmed for me that what...

Jean, I've seent he same behavior in common redpolls on the hillside. A whole flock will funnel into a white spruce,(always a dense spruce, but sometimes not...
On Saturday Feb 3, 2007, Toby Burke spotted an immature ICELAND GULL at the Salamatof Seafoods Dock at the mouth of the Kenai River. We returned around 11:00...
I was looking through the photos we post and noticed the unidentified warbler that Ann posted from Anchorage in August in the folder "apence". It was...
Todd, this is quite a find. Perhaps several birders would be in the same curios position as me -- it would be a life bird, but not a state bird because...
Maybe you're right, Todd. Here's a link (Bird Friends of San Diego County) I found with a pretty good pic of the female MacGillivray's Warbler. Looks pretty...
OK listers, here is a new game for you. We were scanning some of the weather cams positioned around the state and came up with the idea of watching for birds...
Gordon..OUCH! Now i must deduct ONE off my Alaska List due to the lumping of the Iceland/Thayer. I added the Iceland Gull on June19, 1994 while birding with...
I would also like to try for the Iceland and Slaty-backed gulls in Kenai this weekend (2/13 or 2/14). Is anyone in the Anchorage area interested in carpooling...
This is a great way to get a peek at the weather conditions of a place you're planning to go. I mooched around but didn't notice any birds. Chris Maack ...
Hello Gordan My two cents worth and a simple answer on this gull complex. There are sereral researchers that believe there is a great deal of overlap between...
This is a great thread and I think while we will not resolve the issue even among our group it is great to hear peoples thoughts on the speciation issue and it...
Thanks for the help with the last round of bird identification questions I had, I really appreciate the information. I'm pretty sure this mystery bird is an...

Liza, I couldn't find that folder on the website you referred to. Am wondering what you mean by scat - the fecal part of the bird poop? Chris Maack Anchorage ...
Sorry about the photos: I did not notice that I didn't make the folder public, please try again. The Yahoo Photos (not particular to this email group) are at:...
Found it this time, Lisa. The picture that shows the poop looks to me like several desposits landed on each other, which could have happened if they were right...
Hi Liza. In my experience, it is extremely hard to ID most birds by their droppings or pellets. Some are easy, such as the wild turkey which has such...
A handful of Anchorage birders joined a handful of Kenai birders today at the Salamatof Seafoods dock. We were rewarded with pleasant company, sunny weather,...
Beautiful day in Seward today with 17 participants on the Anchorage Audubon winter bird outing. As Carol Griswold had reported, there were much fewer...
