Welcome to the Birding Hotline for interior Alaska as of June 15, 2009.
Perhaps a first for our area, a EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE was seen
at the Maclaren River Lodge at mile 42 of the Denali Highway on
June 13.
One June 9, there was a PACIFIC LOON, a male BARROW'S
GOLDENEYE, and a female SURF SCOTER at Wander Lake.
Another rare visitor to the Interior, a GREAT BLUE HERON was
seen flying over 23rd Avenue on Sunday, June 7.
The latest migrant to the Interior, ALDER FLYCATCHER can now
be heard singing throughout the area.
Upcoming events: This year's Bird-a-thon fundraiser for the Alaska
Bird Observatory and Arctic Audubon will continue through Friday,
June 19. They are looking for prizes to award to winners. If you would
like to donate a prize, please contact Nicole Pearce at 451-7159.
Information packets and pledge sheets can be picked up at the
ABO office.
Dragonfly Day will take place at Creamer's Refuge from 10:00 - 5:00
on Saturday, June 20.
If you plan to record a bird sighting, please include the date and place
where the bird was seen along with your name and phone number.
If you wish to become a member of the Arctic Audubon Society please
call Mary Zalar at 479-4547.
Thanks for calling the birding hotline.
