All the birds we saw were in summer plumage and of the paler nominate race that breeds on the Pribilofs. Other waders here include Semipalmated Plover , Bar-tailed Godwit of the eastern race baueri and many confiding Red-necked Phalarope . A flock of gull contained Red-legged Kittiwake (35), Black-legged Kittiwake (50) and Glaucous-winged Gull \u00a0 and we spent some time stalking these to obtain photographs. The only passerine\u2019s were Snow Bunting, Lapland Bunting and the impressive Grey-crowned Rosy-finch, both of which were common. We headed back to our\u00a0 accommodation for 22:00 and birded around the buildings getting further views of Grey-crowned Rosy-finch, Lapland Bunting and Long-tailed Duck.<\/p>\n Rock Sandpiper (above eight images) of nominate race – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Semipalmated Plover (above three images) – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Red-legged Kittiwake, Common Kittiwake and Glaucous-winged Gull – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Red-legged Kittiwake – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Glaucous-winged Gull – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Long-tailed Duck (male) – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Long-tailed Duck (female) – St Paul Island<\/p>\n Lapland Bunting (subspecies alascensis) – St Paul Island.
