Forty years ago I was close enough to see Attu, on clear days, for a month, next island to the east. It was fall, and I was working, but don't recall seeing anything unusual, just lots of Cormorant. On Adak Island, at that time, there were lots of Eiders, more than one species, but don't remember which ones. Adak is half way out on the chain, and the farthest out open to the public. That is if you are wealthy enough to afford the plane ticket.
Can you confirm my ID of a Ruddy Turnstone for this one?
I was on a wildflower identification field trip, led by the two leading authorities for Alaska. The bird photos are of birds we encountered while studying flowers. There were dozens of subjects that I couldn't stop to photograph, because it would have been disruptive to the group.
