Front cover photo by © Doug Schurman of Seattle, Washington: Eurasian Hobby (Falco subbuteo) in the Wa’atch River valley, Clallam Co., Washington, 29 October 2014. This Old World falcon occurs casually in Alaska, but elsewhere in western North America it is known only from one sight record at the south end of Vancouver Island and two photo-supported records from Washington, one from Seattle and this one from near the northwest corner of the Olympic Peninsula.

Lagassé of Denver, Colorado: Unmated female Little Stint (Calidris minuta) incubating a clutch of four eggs near UtqiagËvik (Barrow), Alaska, 1 July 2019, her second clutch of evidently infertile eggs this season—the first nests and eggs of the Little Stint recorded in North America.
