For each of the last two days we’ve been treated with a
rare bird. First on the 26th we netted and banded a hatch-year Pacific-slope Flycatcher and then early
morning of the 27th (today) a juvenile Black Turnstone landed briefly at the gravel bar at the creek
mouth. Both are about 3rd/4th records for the Yukon! Here
are a few photos of our star visitors.
