The single spring record (St. Paul Island) for this species remains the only sighting for the Bering Sea and that could remain this way for some time. A sparse breeder in interior Alaska, this species is not found near the coast and its re-occurrence in the islands is impossible to predict. […]
A migrant that occurs nearly annually (though often on only a day or two per year), this species is most likely to be encountered in the early spring with most records from May 10th-25th. There are only a handful of records into the first week of June, with a single record after the 10th of […]
Recorded annually in small numbers, this species is most likely to be seen from late May to early June. Spring migrants can arrive as early as mid- May (peak is in late May), with regular records through June 10th and sporadic records the entire month of June and into the early summer during July. Summer […]
There are two known records of this species from the Pribilofs (St. Paul Island) in late May during the 1870s, though exactly how common this species may have once been is only speculative. This species is likely extinct and was last positively recorded in the 1950s. […]
This is one of the rarest shorebirds to appear with some regularity in the Pribilofs with the seven records averaging every 5-10 years, though at times sightings may be more closely grouped. The only records in the Pribilofs, and for that matter from Alaska, come from the spring or very early summer with nearly all […]
A regular migrant during the spring, this species is less likely to be noted during the summer or fall. Individuals often arrive prior to most other migrant species in the islands, with regular sightings starting on May 10th and a peak of occurrence during the second half of May. Sightings are no longer reliable after […]
The 14 records of this species in the Pribilofs, about half from the mid-90s on, are mostly centered on mid-spring, which is the period when this species is most likely to be found. Late May and early June are the peak of vagrancy and the best time to look. All summer records are from the […]
This is an abundant fall migrant, which is found regularly in much smaller numbers, during spring migration. The earliest spring migrants usually arrive around May 15th and are present intermittently through the first week of June, though counts rarely exceed ten at this time. Few are found after June 10th, with the earliest southbound adults […]
The very few records for this species have occurred during spring migration in May and June and as early southbound migrants in late summer. The lack of records for a species which nests along the entire Bering Sea coast of Alaska and similarly migrates/winters along the coast is surprising, however the lack of records clearly […]
This is one of the rarest shorebirds to appear with some regularity in the Pribilofs with sightings every 5-10 years on average, though at times sightings may be more closely grouped. Nearly all sightings are from late May or very early June when this species should be looked for most intensely. The fall record is […]
