Nome




We arrived in Nome with temps in the 50s and departed on a beautiful sunny, 50s day today, Mon, June 8. However, the weather in between was typically Nomeish - highs of 41-42, high winds and overcast to steady downpours!! One makes the most of it!! Each of us come away with different impressions. For me, it was 3 intense days of birding with a final tally of 84 species which is very good with 5-6 life birds - up to 16 now, I think! The hunt was as exciting as the find! I joined up with some others and friends and we all had a great time. Charlie was able to 'relax' for a couple of days and do his own thing. Ice was still in the harbor and snow in many places.
