A very rare spring migrant that also has several late summer and early fall records, this species is most likely to be seen during spring from May 25th-June 5th. Southbound records from summer and fall remain the minority though the rate of detection has increased in recent years with a number of August records lately. […]
The seven Pribilof records are primarily from the late spring with a single mid-winter record. A short-range migrant on the mainland, this species is generally resident on the Aleutians. This is the presumptive source for local vagrants, which likely explains the lack of records for this species in the Pribilofs. […]
There are more than 15 records of this species from the Pribilofs, with late May accounting for about half making it the most likely time to observe this species in the islands. The additional four spring records are split between mid-May and early June, while there remain only six records that are not from the […]
The one Pribilof record (St. Paul Island) was only the second record from Alaska and the rest of western North America. This late spring/early summer overshoot migrant was unexpected as its range is more typical for a fall vagrant to the Bering Sea region. […]
This species is only a rare vagrant to the Pribilofs, despite nesting commonly in western Alaska, due to its migration route through the center of the state as opposed to the coast. Of the few records, a majority are from the spring when the species is easier to distinguish from its cousins, though there is […]
A common migrant in both spring and fall, it is perhaps the most consistently common migrant shorebird in the Pribilofs. They typically begin to arrive in the spring during the final week of April or the first week of May, with the earliest double-digit count on May 13th, and are found in the largest numbers […]
This species is encountered on an annual basis in the Pribilofs in small numbers, mostly during spring and/or fall. In springs with sightings it is often seen only once during the season, with nearly all of the records during spring coming from late May and only eight of those records from the first two weeks […]
There are only about 10 Pribilof records of this species, with all records during fall migration in August and September. It has been encountered almost annually in recent years. Like most other shorebird species in the Pribilofs, this species is best looked for during fall migration in late August and early September. Identification from the […]
This species is a regular breeder on the larger islands in the Pribilofs, with small numbers augmenting the local populations during spring and fall migration. While this species is never common, its preferred habitat concentrates it on the islands making it a visible part of the island’s bird life when it is present from May-September. […]
There is a single mid-spring record for this species in the Pribilofs (St. Paul Island). It is a rare species throughout much of Alaska though on the increase in many areas, which could lead to further records during the spring or in early fall. […]
