Alaska Recap Four: The Birds / by Dave Hileman

My expectations for new birds and better views of birds I have seldom seen were rather low. I intended to see a Willow Ptarmigan and get some good eagle and puffin shots but did not know what else to expect. It was really good and I added 32 new birds to my life list that is now at 393. I will do a Bird Week soon but among the coolest birds I saw were horned and tufted puffins, ptarmigans, jaegers, red-throated grebes, snow buntings and the long elusive Spruce Grouse that I tried to see every time we were in Acadia.
