Abstract

During recent field work for the University of Alaska Museum on Attu Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, we obtained important specimens of three species: North America’s first of the Chinese Pond-Heron (Ardeola bacchus), first of the Solitary Snipe (Gallinago solitaria), and third of the Pin-tailed Snipe (G. stenura). These records expand our knowledge of the diverse Asian avifauna that passes through the western Aleutians in spring.
