While many birders are using this opportunity to enjoy reduced drive times to their favorite birding spots, for the local patch and yard birder, birding hasn't changed greatly.
Attu Island — What is There? Where is It?
Any serious birder has certainly heard of Attu Island and dreamed of the exotic vagrant and expected birds found on the westernmost islands in the Aleutian chain of Alaska—i.e. North America. Unfortunately, few have had the opportunity to visit that isolated land to experience its unique avian presence. I was able to book a week's trip there in January 2–10, 1990.
