Stercorarius pomarinus
24 June, Unmist - A single light-phase bird flew
over the airstrip about 1900. It did
not stop but kept on reprever and out
of sight.
26 June, Unmist - a single jaeger-not certainly this
species was seen flying high down-
rever about 2136 in the evening.
5-16 July Point Lay
About 10 individuals seen in
two drops and 2 collected. Three of
these are collected, seems in the dark
phase. Not rem at this locality.
27-30 July Pitt Point
Very common all over the areas
covered earlier by Malaw. Many
pairs seem to have broken up or
moved no longer maintaining close

are breaking down, so that it is very
difficult to get an accurate count of
individuals. In general I would say
there has been no major change
in numbers since Malaw's survey-
that is, there seem to be birds at
or around all the nest sites and
"pair-locations" indicated on his
map. The decline people, however, say
they have that a good number since
