This species is about annual during spring migration in the Pribilofs with the most reliable time being from May 20th-June 5th and a peak around May 25th. They are occasionally seen later into June but only a handful of the many spring records are from after the 5th. Despite its regularity in the spring, this […]
An individual found on St. Paul Island during the spring in late May is the only Pribilof record and the first to be found offshore in the Bering Sea region. It is a common mainland species that breeds into western Alaska and should be looked for in the future. Ironically, the Pribilofs may be one […]
The Asian counterpart to the Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa solitaria), this is one of the rarest vagrant shorebirds found in the Bering Sea region with less than 15 records for the state of Alaska, all but four of those records coming from the western Aleutians. The two spring records from mid-late May fits well with the […]
The nine records of this species all follow the same general patterns of other species in this genus (Tringa), with most of the spring records from mid-late May and the fall records in late August and early September. These two periods are the most likely time frames for future records to appear in, with a […]
A rare spring vagrant with most records during the first half of June from that period, though it is encountered much more irregularly than later in the year. The few records in late June and early July connect the spring with the beginning of fall migration when the first individuals typically begin to appear in […]
A common spring and fall migrant, which is also regularly found through most of the summer, this species is to be expected during much of the May- October period. The first records each spring typically come during the second week of May and with the first arrivals they are usually seen daily through the first […]
A nearly annual species in the Pribilofs, Lesser Yellowlegs can be found throughout the spring, late summer, or early fall. The most concentrated time for spring sightings is from May 20th-June 1st, while in the fall the best time is the fourth week of August. Summer records involve two early season records, which could be […]
The three Pribilof records of this species (all on St. Paul Island), all from the fall, span nearly the entire migratory period and leave little clue as to when it is the best time of the year to find this species in the islands other than the entirety of fall migration. […]
A nearly annual species that can at times be found in small groups on the Pribilofs. The spring accounts for the vast majority of records for this species in the islands. It is most regularly found during the mid-spring, mostly between May 15th and June 5th with a peak covering May 25th-June 2nd, a week […]
An annual vagrant in the early spring on the Pribilofs, this species is very rare at other times. Most records of this species are during the month of May between the 5th and 25th, making it one of the earliest shorebirds to arrive on a regular basis in the Pribilofs, as well as Alaska. A […]
