A recent arrival to the Pribilofs, there have been a few recent records of individuals arriving to St. George Island in the spring with other alcids (namely Least Auklet Aethia pusilla) and continuing into the summer period in some cases. The other record is an early summer individual on St. Paul Island that appeared to […]
A regular spring migrant best seen during that season from May 20th-31st, individuals are occasionally noted, and very rarely arrive, during early June with perhaps a record per year during the summer months from late June to late July. This species becomes much more common in the fall when larger numbers are noted regularly starting […]
A regular, though uncommon, species that regularly overshoots during spring migration ending up in the Pribilofs. It is best found during the final 10 days of May. This species is only rarely found earlier in May or into June, with a handful of late June and early July records being the only early summer sightings, […]
This is a rare, but potentially overlooked, spring migrant with records scattered across much of the period from mid-May to mid-June during that period where the peak of sightings are mostly clustered between May 25th and June 5th. In the Pribilofs, this is predominantly a southbound migrant with a few late June and early July […]
The records from St. Paul Island account for well over half of all North American records with this species appearing nearly annually in the 2010s during September. The lone spring record and the unknown date record remain outliers, while the vast majority of records have been found in recent years during the first half of […]
This species has been recorded twice in the fall during September on St. Paul Island. These arrival dates follow similar patterns to other Asian snipe species found in the Pribilofs but since this species has only one further record from North America during late May and given its low density population and poorly known habits […]
The first documented record from the Pribilofs was an individual in late summer-early fall on St. Paul Island; however, there exists a hypothetical record from spring in late May, which is the time frame for most (if not all) other documented records from western Alaska. There is also a second record from late September in […]
The most common snipe in the Pribilofs, this species is found more reliably in the spring than during the fall. It can be found in quite large numbers at times, though it is usually seen in small numbers and is found most commonly from May 20th-25th, but still found regularly from May 15th through to […]
A regular spring migrant in small numbers, this species is reported annually with the highest incidence of occurrence from May 20th to June 1st. There are few June arrivals during the spring season with only a handful of summer records, including a surprising, and successful, nesting attempt from 12 July-6 August 2012. This is the […]
A somewhat regular, though hard to predict, vagrant to the Pribilofs, this species is best looked for during the first week of June or last week of August. However, it could occur with favorable weather conditions from mid-May through August. The July records likely pertain to adults who have left the breeding grounds, while the […]
