11 New Life Birds found in Alaska

The trip to Alaska was outstanding. As my brother-in-law stated, "Alaska is majestic."
I found 11 new life birds. Including my new birds from Germany, my life list is now at 463.
Here's the list of new birds:

1.   Pacific Loon
2.   Mew Gull
3.   Gyrfalcon
4.   Arctic Tern
5.   Northwestern Crow
6.   Pigeon Guillemot
7.   Horned Puffin
8.   Tufted Puffin
9.   Black-legged Kittiwake
10. Common Murre
11. Black Oystercatcher


I got photos of all of these birds but I will only attach a few of the better ones (including some birds I have seen before).

300 Club - My 300th Minnesota Bird


I was glad to get this bird (my 300th) because I didn't want this goal to lag on until summer.

God Bless
