Sparse resident beginning 1975. Most records are from the fall, but on 24 of the 27 Christmas counts since 1975, a few have been seen (Gibson 1976 and Kessel and Gibson 1978). At Hoonah, Trapp and King (1985) saw several 19 and 20 February 1982. In summer, Hanson saw a female with a group of immatures in August 1984 near Goddard and collected an immature not yet able to fly 1 September. In 1986 Hanson and I saw a female and one or more immatures almost daily 15 August to 5 September.
