Birding while Cruising along the Alaskan Coast
Alaska, the westernmost part of North America, is one of the dream birding destinations. During this session, we will experience some fascinating birds that you may encounter while cruising along Alaskan coast, such as three albatross species, Red-legged kittiwake, Whiskered auklet, and the “Holy grail” bird of North America, McKay’s bunting.

Lancy Cheng is an ornithologist with HX Hurtigruten Expeditions. He loves everything with feathers, especially gulls. With this passion, he chose to live in St. John’s, Newfoundland, the “Capital of Kumlien’s gull” in North America. He spends most of his time in the woods, by the lake or on the beach, looking for and studying birds. If not out birding, he says he would stay home with his little girl, Vega. Yes, she is a cat, and, yes, her name is from Vega gull.
