Falco peregrinus
10 July Barrow, Alaska - a lone bird in somewhat worn
plumage seen flying west over the polygonized
ground W of Meadow Lake. As it flew we it
was attacked by each successive pair of jaegers,
and appeared to have a rough twist avoiding them.
It didn't stay around long, needless to say.
17 July One flying N over the 05TH area and attacked
by jaegers as it crossed the jaeger's territories. It
was more spotted below than the 10 July bird and
the entire trailing edge of its wing & tail tip
was distinctly frayed.
21 July One similar to the last bird seen flying south
along the shore of Elson Lagoon - it seems to have
finally found a place where the jaegers leave alone!
