7. Cade 1957 Bovia avetica To Jene Two seen flying between Barrow and the Dvukar River. 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.
