we made a quick drive around the river s unit after our trip to gambell, alaska last week with hilonesome birders. The green heron was still at marker 2 along with 6-8 wilson snipes and a kildare. There was a greater white fronted goose hanging out with several cackling geese on rest lake, we did not see the red-shouldered hawk. Our trip to gambell was fun with highlights including lesser sand-plover, gray-tailed tattler and a common sandpiper along with many red throated pipets, sharp-tailed sandpipers, white wagtails, thick billed murre, ...and all without really favorable winds to bring in the real rarities good birding , steve kohl, brush prairie,wa
