Aloha,
The Hawaiʻi Audubon Society is headed to Nome, Alaska, and we want you to join us.
From June 24-28, 2024 we will explore the arctic tundra of Alaska to find and observe kōlea, the Pacific Golden Plover, at their breeding grounds and with luck, locate kōlea chicks.
Each spring, on the southern edge of Alaska’s Seward Peninsula is a place where over 100 species of migratory birds travel across ancient migration routes. Decked out in striking breeding plumage, the birds arrive ready for a short, intense summer of raising the next generation. Birds migrate north for the long days and abundant food—insects, plants, seeds, and aquatic creatures. These spring arrivals join moose, musk ox, and bear that inhabit the peninsula year-round.
Alongside seasoned guides and researchers we will discover the rugged beauty and wilderness surrounding Nome.
Hope to see you there,
Hawaiʻi Audubon Society
