The lone spring record (St. Paul Island) is not unusual timing for this species, though the very few offshore records indicate that this species is unlikely to be encountered. It may in fact be more likely to appear again in early fall. […]

Western Wood-Pewee
The spring and fall records (three total, all from St. Paul Island) for this species fall within expected migratory periods for this species, though its relative scarcity in adjacent areas of Alaska makes this species an unlikely vagrant to the Pribilofs. Late August and early September appear to be the best time to look for […]
Yellow-bellied Flycatcher
Three fall records of this species (one from very late summer) are the only sightings of this species in the Pribilof Islands, all coming from St. Paul Island. A rare-but-regular and perhaps increasing breeder in interior Alaska, this species is not to be expected but as an early fall migrant, the best time to find […]
Alder Flycatcher
There is only a single record for this species in the Pribilofs from St. Paul Island, though given its widespread range in Alaska it would seem to be the most likely Empidonax species in the islands. It is most likely to be found in late August or early September as they migrate south from Alaska. […]
Say’s Phoebe
The two early fall records (both from St. Paul Island) of this species follow the general pattern of other flycatchers found during the fall, with this being the best time to look for future records. As a widespread breeder in Alaska, this is perhaps one of the more likely species in this family to occur […]
Eastern Kingbird
The seven records of this species are scattered in late spring and early summer with this pattern closely following the expected occurrence of this species in the state of Alaska. A vagrant to the state usually found in late spring, this species is most likely to be found during June and July following the same […]
