Last Trip to Ikatan

About a week before we were due to leave the Aleutians we had a wonderfully clear day thrown into the mix of windy cold days we had been having. We knew that we had to take advantage! Both of us agreed that we wanted to head to Ikatan and re-explore the old village and then walk over to Otter Cove and the Pacific.


This tufted puffin was actually spotted on the ride home. The first of the year and according to records it was about a week or so early. No other puffins were in sight. We felt extremely lucky to have been able to see another one before we left.




Another Ancient murrellet. They have been in large groups in the pass for a few weeks now.



Pictures from the village.
