A trip to Adak in September is a week full of sea watching, wandering through marshes for shorebirds, scrutinizing waterfowl, and scouring songbird hideouts in some of the westernmost reaches of Alaska available to birders. What could be better? Oh yes, home-cooked meals and a glass of wine in the evenings!
