Tall bird cliffs teeming with auklets,
murres, guillemots, and puffins are on the edge of Gambell. Parakeet
Auklet on 6 July 2011. It was raining most of the time, but we saw
Gambell's specialties. |

While walking, we accidentally flushed a
Common Ringed Plover from its nest on the south side of Troutman
Lake
near Gambell on 6 July 2011. Black breast band and band between eye
and bill are wider than Semipalmated Plover; the eye ring is not
visible whereas Semipalmated Plover has a noticeable eye ring; the
bill is longer and narrower than Semipalmated Plover
and white supercilium behind the eye is prominent. We heard it call,
which was different from Semipalmated Plover. |
