6/7/2009 Our last morning in Gambell was spent watching the sea. Gray whales fed less than 100 feet from shore. An iceberg hosting black-legged kittiwakes floated past and our first flock of common eiders for the trip flew overhead.
Our flight back to Nome was quick and we wasted no time getting a little birding in. At the Nome River mouth we found numerous western and semi-palmated sandpipers, arctic terns, bar-tailed godwits, long-tailed ducks and a few Aleutian terns. At 9:30 pm we picked up the first of our guests - Dawn, Raina, Frances and Bill and shuttled them to their accommodations.
