Alaska Birding Trip -- June 2018
 All lined up and ready to go |
June 05, 2018. Las Vegas to Anchorage. We left home at 7 AM and arrived in Anchorage at 7 PM (8 PM Alaska time), and spent about 6 of the 12 hours in the air. We had three, more-or-less, 2-hour flights, and as we in America have become accustomed, none was much fun. Crowed planes, tiny seats, screaming kids -- the whole works. Regardless, we are in Anchorage and have already been seeing birds. There is a Red-necked Grebe, a White-winged Scoter, Mallard ladies with duck-lets, and an Osprey carrying a fish. We also saw Bald Eagle and Northwestern Crows in Juneau during our longest layover. Night in Anchorage (Coast International Inn). |
