June 4-19, 2010

This is truly an amazing place—a land of majestic vistas, grizzles, reindeer, musk oxen, and beautiful birds dressed in their Sunday best.  The first weeks in June are the height of the northward migration period and the beginning of the summer nesting season; a very special time to be in Alaska if you are a birder.  The Texas Ornithological Society Alaska Field trip targets breeding and migrating species and the opportunity to find a few vagrants that drop in on the area sporadically.  Last year it was a Black-tailed Gull in Nome and a breeding plumage Ruff in Anchorage!  We bird Anchorage, Seward (pelagic), Nome, Barrow and the Denali Highway.
