This is a very rare migrant in the Pribilofs, which is found almost exclusively during the late summer and fall. The two spring records from late May likely point to the best time for this species to occur at that season, which also coincides with most records of the closely related Great Knot (Calidris tenuirostris). […]
This is a normal, albeit uncommon, winter resident that is regularly found in the Pribilofs through early spring. They become less common by the end of May and are rarely encountered after early June with only sparing reports after June 5th. There are just four records of individuals lingering into summer and even fewer records […]
A rare and possibly overlooked vagrant, this species is often found with the closely related Common Goldeneye. Occurrence patterns for this species likely mirror that of the Common Goldeneye, with nearly all of the 11 known records arriving in May, while there are a couple early June records and a single summer arrival record. It […]
This species is recorded on a semi-annual basis with a record every three years on average since 1995. They are most commonly found during the spring from May 15th-31st, with many records of birds lingering for days or of multiple individuals arriving together. There are three early summer records in late June and early July, […]
This species has been recorded once in the Pribilofs during late fall. It is a rare late fall migrant in south-coastal Alaska from its breeding range in the southeastern part of the state, which coincides well with this occurrence in late October. It is also in line with normal freeze over in these areas, which […]
A nearly annual spring vagrant that is seen in most years during mid-late May, though there are only a handful of records prior to the year 2000. It is most likely to be seen from May 10th-25th though the actual timing of this species in spring may extend much earlier than records indicate as it […]
A spring migrant best seen between May 15th and June 5th, though it can often be found across the full spring period from early May to mid-June. While still not expected, summer wanderers and lingering individuals from the spring are found during late June and July on a regular basis, though the first fall migrants […]
A regular migrant in small numbers, this species is most reliable in spring during late May with only five June arrivals recorded. In fall they are seen most often after September 25th. The only three summer records are late July arrivals with no further records until late August in the fall, but there are only […]
A commonly seen spring migrant that is noted almost daily from mid-May to early June. This species is never as common during other portions of the year. Spring birds occasionally linger to (or arrive in) late June with scattered arrivals throughout the summer into July and early August, when it is rarest. Fall migrants may […]
There are two summer records for this species with arrivals in late June and late July. The few records of this species that exist from Alaska are primarily from May-June, though fall records in North America suggest this species could be as likely to be found at that season as during the late spring or […]
