Travel Day Anchorage to Pocatello
July 20, 2018
June 11, 2018 But first a bit of breakfast and birding. Arlene took me to one of my favorite restaurants in Anchorage. The Snow City Cafe (http://www.snowcitycafe.com/home) it really does have the best breakfasts. Then a little birding at this amazing pond that is located in town. The island in the center of the pond … More Travel Day Anchorage to Pocatello
The belated Big Day
May 30, 2017
I just realized I never wrote up my report as to this year’s Anchorage Audubon Big Day competition back in March! It wasn’t anywhere as bizarre as last year’s but I’ll hit the highlights. Quick review of the rules: 24 hours (5 pm Friday to 5 pm Saturday), anything spotted/heard within Anchorage municipal limits counts, … More The belated Big Day
Evening birding
May 13, 2017

Which means I have to get up at 5:30 am. I keep telling myself: at least it’s light out. It’s actually a great … More The early bird(er) gets the ?
Spring migrants are arriving
May 2, 2017
I had to work most of Saturday–and it was gorgeous out! But the good thing about this time of year is our length of daylight–we’re light by 5:30 am (which is when my alarm went off, not when I got up) and are staying light til late in the evening. So an after-work run to … More Spring migrants are arriving
Winter in Anchorage
January 9, 2017
It’s Anchorage, it’s winter. While we have a certain number of bird species that overwinter (more so as time goes by and our winters keep getting warmer) it’s still not the most productive of birding locations in January. Unless, of course, you’re willing to hang out with the birds that you do see and watch … More Winter in Anchorage
