Crested Auklet (right) facing left, with Long-tailed Ducks
Observasjonsdetaljer
When we drove over to scope the bayside cove we were very surprised to find a juvenile Crested Auklet loosely mixed with a few Long-tailed Ducks floating there. Tiny all-black alcid with stubby bill. Hint of a tiny quail-like crest on forehead. Very poor digiscoped photos taken. Very actively diving; often underwater more than above. The High Lonesome birding tour group showed up just after we found it and many of their folks got to see it as well. Very few fall/winter records for northern Alaska. Seen at approximately: 71.3382278, -156.5965965.
