We were up at 05:00 and headed to Hillside Park where we birded from 06:00-09:00. This was a lovely mixed area of forest with maple, oak and pines but full of mozzies.<\/p>\n

We birded a few miles along the various trails accessible from the car park at the eastern end of Abbott Road. Highlights here were American Three-toed Woodpecker , Varied Thrush (a male and female both carrying food), Swainson\u2019s Thrush , Hermit Thrush , Townsend’s Warbler , Wilson\u2019s Warbler , Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warbler , Two-barred Crossbill , Boreal Chickadee , Black-capped Chickadee and Grey Jay .<\/p>\n

After a pizza breakfast in the car park we headed to the airport for a 12:15 flight to St. Paul refuelling at Dillingham and landing at 15:10 on St.Paul Island.<\/p>\n
