All,
I am coming up to bird Alaska in a few days and have a couple of questions about birding around Anchorage:
- While I have seen Hudsonian Godwit and Short-billed Dowitchers easily on the mudflats on previous visits, I am wondering if there is an accessible area where you can see them in their breeding habitat. - I nioticed in ebird that several folks saw a Spruce Grouse apparently defending a display territory around the Campbell Airstrip Trailhead a couple of weeks ago. I'd like to look for that. Can anyone give more precise details on the area it was seen in?
Thanks for any help.
