Andy decided to crash for a couple of hours while Martin, Ian, Barry and I headed to Westchester Lagoon for some final birding from 16:30 to 18:00. The highlights here were Bonaparte’s Gull , Lesser Yellowlegs , Short-billed Dowitcher and Alder Flycatcher . But best of all was a flock of around 60 Hudsonian Godwit roosting on the island in the centre of the lagoon, most of these birds were in summer plumage, a fitting final bird of the trip.<\/p>\n Black-billed Magpie, the species is genetically similar to Common Magpie<\/p>\n and often considered conspecific – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Black-billed Magpie – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Black-billed Magpie – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Lesser Scaup – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Lesser Yellowlegs – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Lesser Yellowlegs – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Lesser Yellowlegs – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Green-winged Teal – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Red-necked Grebe – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Hudsonian Godwit (and Short-billed Dowitcher) – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Hudsonian Godwit (and Short-billed Dowitcher) – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Hudsonian Godwit (plus Short-billed Dowitcher, Canada Goose and Arctic Tern) – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Hudsonian Godwit – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Hudsonian Godwit (plus Short-billed Dowitcher and Arctic Tern) – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n Hudsonian Godwit (and Short-billed Dowitcher) – Westchester Lagoon, Anchorage<\/p>\n
