Observation details
**very rare; first record for ANWR? Scott and I were sitting and having lunch on this hottest day on record up here (<78 degrees F), when I spotted a strange shape coming towards us low over the tundra from the direction of the mountains, flying bizarrely snappily a scant few inches off of the ground. It ended up coming very close past us, and then continued out towards the ocean. We were about 8km inland when this happened. One of the strangest birding experiences of my life!
