Taking Nome by Storm

6/09/2009 – The group was clearly a little worn out after all the travelling and a marathon first day so we altered our plans for day 2 to allow for a little more sleep time. We decided to bird the Council road thoroughly, at least the portion fronting safety sound. Heavy fog limited our visibility for the first 15-20 miles, but when it finally lifted we quickly began to rack up the birds. Starting with nice views of yellow wagtail we proceeded to the Nome River Bridge where Raina found what turned out to be a pair of rare red-necked stints.
