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 indicate that this species is simply not prone to arrive in the Pribilofs and will likely remain a very rare visitor in the future. This species is regularly misidentified in the fall as they can appear superficially quite similar to juvenile Ruddy Turnstones.
