Sitka/Birds: Black-footed Albatross

Sitka Summary: Accidental along the road system. Reports were from the harbor area, so it's likely the birds came in aboard vessels that had been off-shore. Fairly Common on the continental shelf in summer, they are occasionally observed just inside Sitka Sound. Fisherman report seeing them routinely within 3 or 4 miles of Cape Edgecumbe during the summer season.
