and out over the meadow
toward camp.
Several times when pomarine
jaegers flew into the areas
occupied by these pairs the
long-tailed rose up into the
air giving the "meow" call
and diving at the intruders.
8 May
P. tinegea & two pairs appeared
to be settled along the creek up
which we walked in the late
evening, ca. 1 mile above camp.
In the morning I threw a mouse
to one of the jaegers settled by our
tent. He (?) took it immediately
and flew to the ridge behind the
tent, onto a superb where he was
met by the other mate. They pulled
at the mouse. One seemed to get most
if not all (could not tell which one)
the mouse. One flew a few yards
away. Then back, there was a
pre-citation display of a "choking"
type, then superlating - several
attempts with at least 2 good
cloacal contacts. See Mahew's
notes for more detailed description.
