On Sunday June 10th we left Denali by motorcoach and traveled through Anchorage to Seward. I managed a couple of life birds during this journey - a singing Alder Flycatcher when we stopped at a Mount McKinley viewpoint and several Northwestern Crows along the highway.

Once aboard the ship, we had good views of Mew and Glaucous-winged Gulls, Pigeon Guillemot, Pelagic Cormorant, Common Murre, Marbled Murrelet and Sooty Shearwater as we made our way south to Glacier Bay. At Glacier Bay National Park we had Surf Scoter, White-winged Scoter, Long-tailed Duck, Common Loon and picked up both Sabine's Gull and Black-legged Kittiwake. Haines gave us a large group of scoters feeding on mussel beds, many Arctic Terns and a pair of tame Pigeon Guillemots.
