Inland birds

Greater Scaup

A female Common Goldeneye with her brood at Fairbanks

Pacific Loon

In Anchorage, Red-necked Grebes are park birds like Mallards, nesting in plain sight

Our one Horned Grebe was near Fairbanks. Except for the red eye, completely different colors from the winter plumage we're used to seeing them in.

A couple of Solitary Sandpipers were around Fairbanks

Long-tailed Jaegers were along the Denali Highway

Mew Gull

Arctic Tern

Our one Bohemian Waxwing was near Fairbanks

These Cliff Swallows are gathering mud for nests

Gray-cheeked Thrushes sang from exposed perches, this one along the Denali Highway. Just not the way we're used to seeing them in North Carolina!

All the Dark-eyed Juncos were Slate-colored.

White-crowned Sparrow
