A vagrant to the Pribilofs with just three records during the fall (all coming from St. Paul Island), this species is a rare breeder in interior and southeast Alaska with scattered vagrant records around the state, typically during the mid-late fall, which falls in line with the local record. Further records are likely to occur […]
