Observation details

Island resident Fabius Galanin found and photographed a Eurasian Hoopoe in his front yard on 25 Sep 2022. He described the bird flying in from the west, landing on his window sill briefly, and then going down to his front yard. It was only present for about 2 minutes until a truck drove by at which point the bird flew towards the small boat harbor. Despite extensive effort by several birders in the subsequent hours and days, the bird was never relocated. This is the Pribilof Islands' 2nd record (the first coming only 9 days earlier) and the 4th overall for North America.
