Birds
Despite its high latitude, St. Matthew Island contains significant populations of endemic and migratory birds. In fact, the Department of the Interior has called the island "one of the richest seabird nesting colonies in the world," with over 5 million seabirds nesting during breading season. Over 140 different species of birds have been identified on the island. The island, along with its small satellites Hall Island and Pinnacle Rock, contains the entire breeding range of McKay's Bunting. Additionally, a subspecies of Rock Sandpiper (Calidris ptilocnemis ptilocnemis) and a subspecies of Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch (Leucosticte tephrocotis umbrina) breed only on the island and the nearby Pribilof Islands. Both McKay's Bunting and Calidris ptilocnemis ptilocnemis, with their restricted breeding ranges, are among the rarest birds in North America, making their preservation among the top priorities for conservation groups.

I would change the first sentence to link wikipedia articles about endemic and migratory birds.

Instead of using "Furthermore" in the second sentence, I would put an also in the middle of the sentence because you also use an "Additionally" in the third.

"only on the island and nearby" --> could you specify what you mean by nearby? like does that include the Alaskan mainland?

I would change "are among the rarest birds in North America, making them top priorities of conservation efforts" to "are among the rarest birds in North America, making their preservation among the top priorities of conservation groups." to be more specific and clear.
