Another Installment of Alaskan Birds

There are three roads that connect Nome to the region around them. There are no roads that connect it to the rest of the world or even a larger town. The population of Nome is fewer than 4,000.

One of the roads extends north into the interior of the Seward Peninsula. It connect to a small place about 70 miles away called Teller, hence it is called the Nome-Teller Road. It crosses several rivers and in the marsh lands near this road we find the Savanna Sparrow.

Some Other Birds I Saw

Continuing my walk at Kealia Boardwalk, I found a few other birds. This one above is, I think, pacific golden plover, but I'm not 100% sure. At any rate, he's a handsome birds and has a nice reflection in the water.
