Since another one of the tour groups was departing, we were able to rent our own ATV's for the last two days of our island stay. It was nice to be able to ride where we wanted to go instead of trudging at a slow pace through the rolling gravel. Along the way down to "South Beach", we saw Green-winged Teal on one of the ponds, 'fly-by' Sandhill Cranes, and got more photo opportunities for Rock Sandpiper. While at the beach, Jason pointed out two very close Emperor Goose that flew by, another 'life bird' for me.
Back outside of town, a Bank Swallow was found flying around over the "Near Boneyard". Also seen in the "Near Boneyard" were a female Bluethroat and a Red-throated Pipit. My two quick looks at the Bluethroat were only long enough to see the rufous in the tail and catch a glimpse of the necklace on the throat.
