I know this is off topic, but hopefully everyone will enjoy this little diversion until the winter rarities show up. We took a Cruise to Alaska during the first week of September. It was a lot of fun in many ways, especially standing on the deck, slowly freezing, looking across the water for birds. I had many people ask what I was doing, but few birders seemed to be onboard. Which is a shame, because I'm pretty dreadful at gulls and pelagic birds. I did fortunately take a lot of photos which has helped tremendously. Many of the birds were pretty easy, but many were really hard for me. Some are just plain mysteries. Here's a link and you will find at the top of the page a list that you can click on. If you have any thoughts on the Mystery birds please lend your thoughts. And please don't be shy if you think I missed an ID. http://w1.decorte.us/pix/Alaska thanks! Michael DeCorte
