Birdwatching
There
are many varieties of birds living on Kodiak. Kittiwakes and Tufted
Puffins make their home in a rookery on the small island that's visible
from our lodge. Cormorants and Black Oystercatchers also live on the
rock bluffs that border the bay.
Bald Eagles frequent the tree just outside our living room window. They
like to keep an eye on our beach so as to clean up any scraps left from
cleaning the day's catch. We've nick-named the pair that nests on the
mountainside: George & Martha.
If you're a birdwatcher, bring your binocs and your camera gear! More
than 200 different species of birds have been seen on Kodiak and the
surrounding islands. You may see Golden-Crowned Sparrows, Wilson's
Warblers, Winter Wrens, Pine Grosbeaks, the Common Snipe, Red-Necked
Phalaropes, Mergansers, the Common Loon,and are almost guaranteed to
see the Black-Capped Chickadee.
Kodiak
is a birder's paradise!
