We were successful at obtaining great views of both flying, singing and walking bristle Thighed curlews. The group posed atop ‘curlew hill’ before hitting the road back toward Nome.

A lunch stop at the Kuzitrin River bridge was filled with bird song, as close up views of northern Waterthrush, yellow warbler, orange-crowned warbler, myrtle warbler, Wilson’s warbler and great looks at blackpoll warbler were enjoyed.
