Alaska: Potter’s Marsh
On the 11th we went to Potter’s Marsh, part of the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge. It is a birder’s paradise, and although I am not a birder, I enjoyed using my new zoom lens to see birds up close.
As you can see, it was another grey day, but it was fun regardless.
First, some general scenery:
Now, some birds:
Greater yellowlegs (?) Tringa melanoleuca
Arctic tern Sterna paradosea
Greater yellowlegs (?) Tringa melanoleuca
Common Redpoll Carduelis flammea
Gull of some sort.
