P.D. Benedicht 1965 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.
