Larus hyperboreus -2 1 June Meade, Rivers Coal Mine, 15°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska A small group of adults assembled behind the village. Ray says they are eating the leftovers from the dog-Teams that were here. In the afternoon about 3 P.M. Phil Johnson spotted one being browed by a Parasitic Jaeger. It panted its wilt at the jaegers and occasionally tried to bite it (the jaeger) but would not leave the area. 8 other gulls came in and the 1st acted very aggressively to them. Then noticed it was eating a Barnswig so I went out to check. Two breasts and pectoral muscles had been eaten out. The head was not damaged, but cold and wet, as if the bird had been dead awhile. There was blood on snow 3 feet from the gull and a patch of breast feathers about 6 feet away. Moving in a line from this I found a trail of white Barnswig feathers. I suspect the jaegers did the 1st kill and the gull later took over. 2 June A few adults about camp, roosting behind the village. Still have not seen any immature here. 3 June A few near the village, flying about and making weak noise; and along the Meade R. 4 June Adults along the Meade, beginning to congregate in water puddles forming on the meadow. 5 June Congregating on the Meade, and pairs scattered on distumba. Still only adults here. Par. Jaeger seen chomaging.
