Gambell with Wilderness Birding Adventures
August 30th-September 5th, with optional extension through September 11th.

The Siberian Yupik village of Gambell sits on the northwest point of Saint Lawrence Island in the northern Bering Sea. With the mountains of Russia visible on a clear day, Gambell lies closer to the Old World than the New and birders have long traveled to this remote island to search for Bering Sea specialties, and the chance for Asian migrants and vagrants. This is the report of our tenth fall trip to Gambell.
Our group arrived on August 30th to pleasant weather and light winds. Optimism was high. Unfortunately, the BROWN SHRIKE that had been found on the island the day before had not been relocated so we went straight to our accommodations, got settled in and oriented, and had a quick lunch before heading out to the bone yards. We spent the first afternoon admiring trans-beringian migrants like ARCTIC WARBLER, BLUETHROAT and WHITE WAGTAIL, the last of which is also a local breeder.
