St. Lawrence Island, Alaska, on the north side of frozen Troutman Lake, about 1.2 miles from Gambell. I cringe when I estimate the resources to bring these birders - some from as far away as South Africa - to remote Gambell. And then more than half moved around on ATVs. I love birding, but sometimes I'm embarrassed.

Cropped to horizontal. The view is southwest.

C & C, please. Thanks for looking.
