Floridian birder respectfully asking to bird with a Skagway birder. Really would love to see your hot spots.  Will arrive on Ovation of the Seas on 17 June and available to link up at or near the cruise port around 8:00 - 8:30. My name is Gerald Poltorak, go by Gerry, and am an eBirder so you can check me out.  I am in fairly good shape (69 years old) and can hike somewhat challenging trails. You can contact me via email or text.  And, lunch is on me.  Looking forward to seeing Skagway birds!

Very Respectfully, 
Birds!
Gerry

If there is not a local who can go birding with them, you can send them to the AB Hall Visitor Center. We would be happy to set up any interested birders with a map as well as the birding checklist and direct them to the pond and Yak Point for birding options.

Thanks Wendy!  We have "tips for visiting birders" link on our web site home page, which opens up to general information page about birding in Skagway in the summer - your web pages are referenced several times.  When you get a chance, have a look at let me know if you'd like change any of that info.

Going both ways... if someone shows up at AB Hall asking about birding, perhaps you can also point them to our web site.  With smart phone access, they can have it all.

Grins,

Elaine
