Early Nocturnal Feeding by Female Rufous Hummingbirds Birding Kotzebue, Alaska
Hummingbird visiting a feeder at night, La Center, Clark, March 22, 2004.  Photo by Mike Denny Long-tailed Jaeger were less common than Parasitic Jaeger, but were much more stunning in breeding plumage.  Photo by Brian Bell, June 2004.
The sun dips but does not set over the Noatak River near Kotzebue, Alaska.  This photo was taken around 1:30 a.m. on June 21, 2004 by Michael Hobbs. Long-tailed Ducks looked very different in their breeding plumage.  Scattered pairs were fairly common.  Photo by Brian Bell, June 2004.
Arctic Terns were common breeders.  We also saw a very few Aleutian Terns.  Photo by Brian Bell, June 2004. Thick-billed Murre (left) were much more common than Common Murre (right) on the cliffs at Deering.  The pointed, turquoise-colored murre eggs (far right) could be seen when the adults flushed from the cliffs.  Photo by Brian Bell, June 18, 2004.
