birding Alaska

Tours

Since 2002 I’ve led bird tours for Wilderness Birding Adventures, an Alaskan based bird tour company that’s put together great trips since 1986.  Check out their website for information on an impressive line-up of birding tours to Alaska’s best spots.

Wilderness Birding Adventures 2009 Fall Gambell trip list.

These two rare buntings (about the 6th North American records for each) were highlights from a very exciting 2009 season of birding for Wilderness Birding Adventures.  They were found together on the same day during our fall tour to Gambell, on St. Lawrence Island.
