childs 1957 Aquila chrysaetos 22 June Patmezea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska One was seen circling high to the west of Loon Marsh. It was being chased by Two long-tail jaegers who harried and dove at it like anybirds, calling loudly all the time. The eagle didn't seem to care about them at all. It finally glided SE toward the head of the river. 28 July 20nm SE Cape Sabine There were at least three different times that we saw eagles during the trip down river, all of them above the 12 mile camp. 31 July Patmezea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska One came from the East near the lagoon and flew up river to the SE of us. It was announced and chased by jaeger on the far hill. It had comparative freedom near the river; then another pair of L.T. jaegers took after it and chased it as far as we could see. It is an immature bird with white tail and black band. May of the primaries were missing. Aug. 1 Aug. 2 10 Aug Seen flying along old stuff in fog
