Alaskan populations of Steller's Eiders (Polysticta stelleri) and Spectacled Eiders (Somateria fischeri) have undergone drastic declines during the recent decades, and in the 1990s both species were listed as threatened under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.

Selenium concentrations that are commonly considered toxic for freshwater birds have been reported in tissues of some marine birds, and the threatened spectacled eider (Somateria fischeri) and Steller's eider (Polysticta stelleri) are among the Alaskan sea ducks and waterfowl found with high selenium levels.

At about the turn around point, Sara noticed a very small snake that had been previously run over on the road.
It was a Cat-eyed Snake (Leptodeira polysticta) that was very fresh and probably a recent hatchling.
The ground color of this specimen was a much brighter yellowish than the adult we captured at the "frog crossing" on the last trip and the small dorsal blotches were sharply rendered.
