2026-02-19: Chuja Island

 A mid-February trip to Chuja Island to see what winter birds were around, as well as to soak in that amazing 4 hour round trip boat ride with seabirding opportunities. Black-legged Kitiwakes seen from the boat, as well as various gulls and loons. The island wasn't super birdy, but a large group of Eurasian Siskins, a nice Rustic Bunting, and a Red-throated Loon preening in the east harbour kept me busy.
