Birding highlights of this Birds Korea-Hanns Seidel Foundation marine bird survey of the Korean inner border\/\u00a0 Daejin-Geojin coast included seven (!) species of alcid, one of which was either a fairly standard-looking Little Auk<\/strong> or an odd-looking Least Auklet<\/strong>; huge numbers of loons, including two Yellow-billeds<\/strong>; an all-dark shearwater (tentatively identified as a Short-tailed<\/strong>); and huge numbers of gulls, including two Glaucous-winged<\/strong> and at least one Caspian<\/strong>-type.<\/p>\n

Most abundant species among the >36,000 birds counted were Common Gull<\/strong> (13,200), Arctic Loon<\/strong> (5,500), Slaty-backed Gull<\/strong> (4,350), Pelagic Cormorant<\/strong> (3,900), Rhinoceros Auklet<\/strong> (2,500), Ancient Murrelet<\/strong> (2,400) and Pacific Loon<\/strong> (1,000). \u00a0\u00a0Additional records of note included a decent count of 240 American Scoter<\/strong>, three Brunnich’s<\/strong> and two Common Murres<\/strong>, eight Spectacled Guillemot<\/strong>, five Long-billed Murrelet<\/strong>, single Cinereous Vulture<\/strong>, two White-tailed Eagle<\/strong>, a half-dozen Naumann\u2019s Thrush<\/strong> (one of which looked to have substantial Dusky Thrush<\/strong> influence) and at least three Siberian Accentor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
