St. Paul Island (Pribilofs), Alaska

Follow me on an 'adventure' tour of the sights of St. Paul.
Although you may see many of the bird / mammal species found at St. Paul in
the accompanying galleries (BACK on your browser) we have left this gallery page
as a scenic tour of a visit to this remote Bering Sea island.
(one of the two Pribilof Islands).

St. Paul population sign along with an overhead roadway bridge?  :)       ......... jus kiddin!
Although the roads are actually very good, they certainly are not paved, nor are there any 'overhead bridges'
nor, is the population anywhere near 272,235 people!!!

A few asian 'vagrants' from a recent fall trip.  YES, there are all the spring goodies such as the
Puffins, Kittiwakes, Auklets, Cormorants, etc. but the possibilities for great Asian strays
is also quite high as shown in the below species images of Asian birds
