7-9 July Colville River
One or two seen along the river
on each day.
15-16 July Point Lay
One seen on the lake back of the site
and renewal at different times flying
along the Kotolik R.
27-30 July Pitt Point
Several seen each day on lakes
and along the river in vicinity of
the site. An adult with downy young
was harassed by jaegers on the river
in afternoon of 29th - see account under
S. pomarinus.
August
Jago Lake
A fine bright plumaged adult spent
most of the morning on Jago Lake, diving
and calling. Around 1130, two well-
throats landed on the lake and chased
the larger species all about - flapping
over the surface as jaegers do - until
the arctic finally flew up and left.
It took him three turns around
the lake to get enough altitude to
fly out of the basin.
