I am a guide for the festival this year, making it my second year as a guide. Last year we were able to get great looks at a Great Gray Owl, Northern Hawk Owl, Black-backed Woodpecker, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Common and Hoary Redpolls and a variety of winter gulls. It should be an exciting year as there is currently a large Snowy Owl irruption (probably a nice bird for someone who isn't going to Alaska). Hope to see you both up there in February! Oh, and good luck on your upcoming Big Year! Alex Starkthearcticternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16505981859407813527noreply@blogger.com
