Based at two legendary birding outposts, this tour offers chances for a broad range of birds and wildlife including nesting colonies of seldom-seen seabirds, the wonderous landscapes of Nome, and a lottery for oddball vagrants from across the turbulent Bering Sea. On remote St. Paul Island, the steep and winding cliff faces hold nesting Red-legged Kittiwakes, Red-faced Cormorants, and thousands of alcids (auks) including Least, Parakeet, and Crested Auklets, as well as Horned and Tufted Puffins. Nome is unlike any other spot in North America. Intensely scenic, it offers a chance at rare breeding birds on this continent such as Bristle-thighed Curlew, Bluethroat, Northern Wheatear, Arctic Loon, Gyrfalcon, and still others. It also offers chances for mammals like Muskox and Grizzly Bear, and even others more mythical in nature. Though very rarely seen, the fact that Wolf, Lynx and even Wolverine are encountered here on occasion is an indicator of the quality of the wilderness that we will access. Both locations, St. Paul Island and Nome, offer good chances at scarce visitors from Eurasia as well, adding an element of ‘jackpot birding’ to each day.
