Heavy rain cut our birding time on the island into 1.5 hours, yet we found some migrants:

1. Amur Paradise Flycatchers X 2

2. Yellow-rumped Flycatcher (1st winter male, thanks Sherman for the ID)

3. White-shouldered Starlings

4. Daurian Starling

5. Arctic Warbler

During the ferry trip, we found:
5. Bridled Terns ~40

6. Aleutian Terns ~8

The starling on the left of the photo is Daurian - note the dark eye and white stripe down the scapulars.

The Dusky warbler would be extremely early. Do you have any photos of this bird?

edyip1999

Thanks John for the ID. I didn't notice there are other species of starlings around.

Please find the warbler photo here. I didn't hear the typical "tsack" sound of Dusky Warbler. Will it be an Arctic Warbler?

ajohn

Yes, it looks like an Arctic Warbler. Note the narrow wing bar and green upperparts.
