A common to abundant, year-round resident of the Pribilofs, this species should be seen daily at all times of the year. It tends to be most common in late summer and fall (August 1st and later) and least common during the late spring and early summer (June 1st-July 15th), though it is still present in […]
This is the rarest Tringa found in the Bering Sea region with 3 from St. Paul Island and fewer than 10 records for Alaska. Most records from Alaska occurred in fall in the Aleutians during September, with the Pribilof records being from before this period, as well as representing the latest record in the region […]
This species has been recorded once during late May in the Pribilofs (St. Paul Island) and, with no other records in this region of Alaska, it is hard to understand if this fits a pattern or not. Individuals are found on occasion in south-central and central Alaska during the late spring and migrants are seen […]
An abundant local breeder on St. Paul Island (and less commonly on the other Pribilof Islands), this species can be easily found from mid-May through early September. It is rarely recorded before the 15th of May but becomes quite common by May 20th in most years, with peak numbers occurring in early June. It nests […]
This species is regular, but fluctuates greatly in numbers during the spring with individuals not observed regularly until at least May 20th. Often seen in small numbers during this period, with favorable weather condition concentrations in the upper hundreds or low thousands may be observed during mid and late May and into early June. More […]
A regular species that might be seen on almost any day during the spring, summer, and fall, this species appears to be most common in spring from May 20th-June 1st and from June 25th-July 10th during the summer. It is annual during the fall; however, sightings are not regular with records distributed evenly from mid-August […]
The most reliable jaeger species in the Pribilofs, this species may be seen at almost any time from early May to early October. Sightings of this species are most likely after May 20th with a peak in late May, and a smaller summer peak in early July; however, its likelihood of being observed does not […]
This is the only species of jaeger not regularly found the entire period from May-October, though it is the second most regular species during the spring and often the most common species during the summer. It is not regularly found until at least May 20th with regular sightings through June 15th, when sightings drop-off a […]
A semi-annual arrival in the Pribilofs between May and August, this likely does not account for the species’ true abundance or arrival pattern in the Pribilofs. Nearly all known occurrences have been in conjunction with Least Auklets (Aethia pusilla) during spring and summer, with the first part of June accounting for the most records. It […]
This is an abundant breeding species on each of the four main Pribilof Islands, which is found less regularly during the winter months. The species begins to return to the islands and nesting sites by early-mid April with substantial numbers present by the end of that month or early May and full numbers on the […]
