Western Wood-Pewee

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

The spring and fall records (three total, all from St. Paul Island) for this species fall within expected migratory periods for this species, though its relative scarcity in adjacent areas of Alaska makes this species an unlikely vagrant to the Pribilofs. Late August and early September appear to be the best time to look for […]

Yellow-bellied Flycatcher

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

Three fall records of this species (one from very late summer) are the only sightings of this species in the Pribilof Islands, all coming from St. Paul Island. A rare-but-regular and perhaps increasing breeder in interior Alaska, this species is not to be expected but as an early fall migrant, the best time to find […]

Alder Flycatcher

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

There is only a single record for this species in the Pribilofs from St. Paul Island, though given its widespread range in Alaska it would seem to be the most likely Empidonax species in the islands. It is most likely to be found in late August or early September as they migrate south from Alaska. […]

Say’s Phoebe

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

The two early fall records (both from St. Paul Island) of this species follow the general pattern of other flycatchers found during the fall, with this being the best time to look for future records. As a widespread breeder in Alaska, this is perhaps one of the more likely species in this family to occur […]

Eastern Kingbird

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

The seven records of this species are scattered in late spring and early summer with this pattern closely following the expected occurrence of this species in the state of Alaska. A vagrant to the state usually found in late spring, this species is most likely to be found during June and July following the same […]

Brown Shrike

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

Known from two fall sightings in the Pribilofs (both from St. Paul Island), this species has also been found during spring in the Aleutians, though fall is likely the best time to come across this species in the Pribilofs from the end of August into October. […]

Northern Shrike

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

Primarily a rare fall vagrant to the Pribilofs, this species is a late arriver and is best sought during early October in the islands. The two winter records likely involve over-wintering birds that arrived during the fall. Pribilof records could involve birds from the New World or the Old World, though both of these subspecies […]

Warbling Vireo

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

A rare vagrant from the Alaska mainland, this species has only been recorded in mid-late September with a tight clustering of records around the 15-20th of September, likely indicating that to be the best time to look for this species. There are two subspecies groups of this species (Eastern and Western), which are occasionally split […]

Common Raven

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

Much like the Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), this species has very different patterns on different islands within the Pribilofs. It is an uncommon resident on St. George Island (though as of yet, no evidence of nesting has been found) where at any given time one to several birds are typically present. Despite this, it is […]

Eurasian Skylark

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

This species has been found most commonly in the spring during mid-late May and in the fall in late September, though it is a sporadic migrant (vagrant) and may not appear in the islands for several years between sightings. There are records from two summer periods for this species as well but in both cases […]
