Shirley Seabaugh and I made a trip to Anchorage and Valdez, Alaska last week, Birds seen, Glaucous winged Gulls, possible Slaty Backed gulls, Glaucous gull, Black Billed Magpies, Ravens, Fox Sparrow, Short Billed Gulls, Black Legged Kittiwakes, Arctic Terns, Marbled Murrelets, flying Loon, flying Scoters, Pelagic Cormorants, Horned and Tufted Puffins, Violet Green Swallows, good looks Orange Crowned warbler, Bald Eagles. Part of the trip was an all day Boat ride which leaves from Valdez over Prince William Sound. Ample wildlife on the trip including whales. My most fun bird was watching an arctic tern who kept coming back to a railing to rest at the harbor. If you are thinking of going to this area of AK I would be glad to answer anything I can. Anchorage is reachable from St. Louis in one day. Smaller airlines can take you to more remote areas. Our plane to Valdez was a nine seater.
