Teller afforded us views of real sea ice and several bird species standing on said ice -- Kittiwakes, gulls, cormorants, and Harlequin Ducks. Revisiting the Teller Road allowed us to take side trips to find the Golden Plovers (Pacific and American). Twenty marvelous minutes with a Short-eared Owl coursing over the tundra near Milepost 26. Photo opportunities with a mated pair of banded Bar-tailed Godwits K1 (female) and J9 (male). Our most unexpected sighting was a Gyrfalcon pair around Milepost 28.

Mammals: small herd of 9 Musk Ox; three different herds of Reindeer; Arctic Ground Squirrel.

We encountered an expert birder (possibly a former PRBO volunteer), who showed us lots of passerines, especially warblers.
