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

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?
