An uncommon semi-permanent resident on St. George Island, this species is found more sparingly in the rest of the Pribilof Islands. It can be found at any season and individuals are often present for extended periods of time when they are found. There has never been any evidence of breeding despite its resident status with […]
The first record of this species was initially found in mid-May 2012 and last seen in mid-October 2013. The actual date of arrival could be during the late fall, winter, or early spring of 2011-2012, as there was no coverage during the preceding winter and an eagle was reported from St. Paul Island during the […]
This species is predominantly a fall vagrant to the Pribilofs, with all records coming since 1997. It appears to be less-than-annual, though not an altogether unexpected vagrant, during the fall season with records in about half of the falls where coverage has extended into September and October. […]
This species has been found once in the Pribilofs (St. Paul Island) during fall in mid-September, which coincides well with that species’ fall migration window and is the first record for the islands offshore in the Bering Sea. This species is a regular late fall and winter vagrant to the eastern Aleutians and so may […]
A rare vagrant, this species has been recorded in the spring, summer, and fall, with the Pribilof records favoring the spring season though multiple records do exist for the fall. All spring records come from May, which coincides with an early raptor migration window, while the fall records with known dates of occurrence are in […]
The first record for St. Paul Island, Alaska, and North America, this species is a medium-distance migrant from central Asia that was an unexpected visitor to the region. The timing of this record is unexpected but not without precedent and likely this individual arrived in the region as a fall wanderer and continued to move […]
A regular visitor during the winter and spring, this species is found only sporadically during the summer and rarely in the fall. It is one of the few bird species found most reliably on St. George Island in the Pribilofs, owing to that island’s population of Brown Lemming (Lemmus trimucronatus), which is a major food […]
A regular spring migrant best found from May 20th-June 5th, this species is much rarer at other seasons in the Pribilofs. Spring records can occur from the beginning of May through mid-June, while most summer records are from early in the season and in some cases are lingering birds from the spring period. This species […]
Perhaps the most recorded bird species in the Pribilofs that has been seen by the fewest number of people in recent years, there are at least nine records of this species from the islands (all from St. Paul Island), with most of them from the 1900s and 1910s. The known records come from nearly the […]
A small migrant owl, this species has been located once in the Pribilofs (St. Paul Island) during late fall and future records are quite unlikely. It is most likely to occur in late fall or early winter or again in late winter during their movement periods; however, coverage is very limited at these times. […]
