Gray-streaked Flycatcher

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

This species was not recorded in the Pribilofs until 2002 but has since been seen semi-annually with records during the spring, summer, and fall. Spring records all come in the month of June, with the 10th-20th being best, and summer records from late June and early July in line with the late spring sightings. In […]

Asian Brown Flycatcher

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

A very rare vagrant to Alaska, this species is among the rarest Old World flycatchers found in North America. The single Pribilof record (St. Paul Island) falls within the range of sightings for other similar species during early September and this species is most likely to be found during late August or early September. […]

Dark-sided Flycatcher

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

A similar, yet slightly rarer species to the Gray-streaked Flycatcher (Muscicapa griseisticta) that has been found during late spring (early-mid June), summer (late June), and fall (mid-August to mid-September). This species is most likely to be found during late June in spring and summer and during late August in the fall. […]

Black-backed Woodpecker

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

An unexpected vagrant to the Pribilofs, the lone fall record (St. Paul Island) is a rare record for this species outside of its resident range. Known for being semi- nomadic and making short-distance movements in response to habitat changes, this species is unlikely to be found again in the Pribilofs, though late fall would likely […]

Northern Flicker

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

A single early spring record notwithstanding, this species is a fall vagrant to the Pribilofs with semi-regular records when coverage has extended into September and October. The only truly migrant woodpecker and the most likely species of that family to appear in the islands, this species is best looked for at the very end of […]

Merlin

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

A very rare vagrant to the islands that has been predominantly found during the fall (across the entire season), with a single spring record in late May. This species is most likely to be found in September, though its migration window extends over a large period in the fall meaning sightings could occur at almost […]

Eurasian Hobby

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

This extremely rare vagrant from Asia has been found only a handful of times in the islands from widely scattered times during the spring, summer, and fall. Based on local records and other sightings from the region this species should be sought during the fall in September and early October, though the end of May […]

Gyrfalcon

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

This species can be quite rare during the warmer months of May-October with only a couple spring records from May in recent years as this species moves north during March and April before observers are present in the Pribilofs. There is a single summer record from July, with a slight increase in records during the […]

Peregrine Falcon

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

A surprisingly rare visitor to the Pribilofs, this species is very rarely encountered during the spring (mainly mid-late May) and has been seen only a few times during the summer in late June, mid-July, and early August. It is found more commonly during the fall with occasional records from mid-August to mid-September, after which the […]

Olive-sided Flycatcher

Posted on January 17, 2019 (March 6, 2019)

The lone spring record (St. Paul Island) is not unusual timing for this species, though the very few offshore records indicate that this species is unlikely to be encountered. It may in fact be more likely to appear again in early fall. […]
