News from the Northern Observation Posts
Shageluk, AK (62.65, -159.79)
Joyanne Hamilton from Innoko River School shares a new word for “robin” with
us in Deg Xinag (Athabaskan). It is “Gonondadoy.” We reported
last week that Earth Day brought the first robin song from Shageluk,
AK!
Whitehorse,YT (60.43, -135.03)
NOP Bruce Bennett writes, “The wave of American Robins returned
whilst I was away. Tuesday April 18th. Several were seen throughout
the southern Yukon, by April 19th they were heard singing. Still very
few forest birds are seen. We have Dark Eyed Juncos and American Tree
Sparrows but the other sparrows are still missing. Along with the American
Robins the Varied Thrush returned and can now also be heard singing.”
