Kodiak Island is perhaps one of the most overlooked birding destinations in Alaska, and birding there in early spring is one of our best-kept secrets! We venture to Alaska’s largest island to enjoy an impressive collection of wintering waterbirds, including hundreds of Emperor Geese, good numbers of Steller’s Eiders, and Red-faced Cormorant. Away from the water, we might find Boreal Owl, Northern Hawk Owl, or American Three-toed Woodpecker.
