Stercorarius longicaudus
21 July
Beebe's Alcaka - signs of primary flock. The
Cue people say they were present yesterday.
Counted 21 from one spot, and Hamilton said
he saw at least 50.
23 July
3 along the NE end of Cautal Marsh and 5 on the Bauli
Ridge near USC. These were all that remained of its above
flock. They feed from the ground, walking slowly through
quasy areas and occasionally picking up and eating
some small food. Few, which I was never able to identify.
The Birds on the Ridge were chased off by a Pomarine
Jaeger (while I was trying to photograph them) and
all were gone by 4 PM. All had good long tails.
27 July
5 in the dump near S. Salt wagon and 6 in Cautal
Marsh. All adults feeding on small objects on the
ground, in wet grassy area, away from Pom. Jaegers.
29 July
One along the Chicchi Sea behind the lab and
one along Olson wagon, both adults with tails.
