To the best of my knowledge, this was the first documented 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞-𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 on the Alaska Peninsula. A lone specimen showed up at Chignik Lake every winter from 2016 through 2023, our last year there. As scattered reports filter in from throughout Alaska every year, it may be time to update range maps for this species. 1/17/17
Like a number of other species, White-throateds seem to be expanding their range north as the northern climate warms. It’s a good time to be a photographer, gathering documentation.
