SEAK QBR Mentions
* W2010-11: One at SIT 26 December was late. This species is very rare in Southeast Alaska during the winter (Kessel and Gibson 1978).
* Sp2012: A flock of 120 Northern Shovelers at SIT surprised observers 28 May and likely provided a new local high count.
* Su2012: 43 on 19 July at JNU
* W2012-13: Rare in winter, singles were at JNU 15–17 December and KTN 21 January–17 February.
* Sp2013: 188 at JNU 6 May, one of the largest counts ever for the Juneau area. Also noteworthy was an estimated 150 at GUS 6 May 2013, which represented a new local high count.
* Su2013: One hundred at the Mendenhall Wetlands 2 June provided a large, late count for Southeast Alaska.
* W2013-14: Late birds included two near JNU, 7 December 2013, one at the Mendenhall Wetlands 8 December, and six at the Bartlett River 14 December. A shoveler at SIT 11 February was more unusual in mid-winter.
* W2014-15: Five at GUS 19 December and four at JNU 14 December were late, and one at JNU 11 January was a rare mid-winter report.
* W2015-16: At least three were present all season at the Mendenhall Wetlands, and two more were at Eagle Beach 18 January. This species is rare in mid-winter in Southeast Alaska.
* W2016-17: Two at the Mendenhall Wetlands 12 December and another at SIT 23 December were late. A pair at the Mendenhall Wetlands 27 February 2017 was more unusual, as this species is rare in mid-winter in Southeast Alaska.
* Sp2017: A pair at Shake’s Island, near WRG, 3 March and one at KTN in early March likely represented wintering birds, as spring migrants do not typically arrive until late April.
* W2017-18: Late birds included three at SIT 17 December and one at GUS 16–18 December. Three to four were also observed at the Mendenhall Wetlands through mid-December, and at least two were observed there into January–February.
