5. longicaudus
19 July Camp A. Pitmegeabisty, in Cape Sabine, Alaska
These birds are fairly common occurring in
groups of 2 to 10. One group of 5 was
feeding on insects or vegetation while
resting. No chasing or territorial activity
seen. Doubt the presence of nests. Saw
one chase a Parasitic.
23 July Remains of 3 found in Duck Hunt nest about
16 miles S.E. Cape Sabine. Since Camp A
thus have been almost no jaegers seen,
just an occasional single long tail or
Parasitic along the river.
30 July Most jaegers seen along river are our
parasitaires. Found the young 2.T. near
the lithood where first seen. It can
now fly although the parent or still
in attendance. It begged and parent
flour to it when I walked by or
I wouldn't have seen it. It is
practically black with gray flecks
in the tail. When it flew up the
wind blew it all over the place so
it landed almost immediately. The
canion apparently did not ham it
as > has suspected earlier and
thus we have at least one successful
nesting this year.
