Gray Wagtail

Motacilla cinerea

A very rare species in the Pribilofs, this species is most likely to be found during the spring in early-mid June when half of all records have occurred. The only other spring records are from late May, while a lone summer record in late June is an unexpected outlier. Both fall records for this species come from the same date in mid-October (the 13th), and while this is likely a coincidence, this species is probably best found during late fall at that season.
