Alaska: The Last Frontier + St. Paul Island Pre-trip

Welcome to the last frontier of North American birding! The Great Land (Aleut translation of Alyeska) is like nowhere else in the United States both in terms of immensity and abundant wildlife. We will enjoy spectacular scenery and mammals, all while seeking out some of North America’s most-wanted birds. Our survey of Alaska begins with a pre-trip to St. Paul Island. Located in the heart of the Bering Sea, the largest of the Pribilof Islands will be our base for three nights. We will busy ourselves seeking out nesting seabirds (over 200,000 nest on the island’s cliffs!), shorebirds, and if we are lucky, an Asian vagrant or two. It is also home to the world’s largest concentration of breeding Northern Fur Seals, which is a sight not to be missed.

The main tour is made up of three parts. Part one will include time around Anchorage and the nearby Kenai Peninsula. Here we will delight in the birds of the boreal forests and maritime Alaska. A boat trip out to the Kenai Fjords National Park will be a tour highlight for birds and mammals. For part two, we will fly north to the town of Nome on the Seward Peninsula. For birders, Nome is a must-visit location for its unique birds, iconic mammals, and rugged landscapes. We will devote three days to exploring this region. Finally, our tour will visit Utqiagvik (formerly Barrow) to relish in the land of the midnight sun. The northernmost city in the United States, we will be surrounded by tundra and wetlands full of shorebirds and waterfowl busy during the short breeding season.
