Stercorarius longicaudus 5 June Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'N, 70°29'N, Alaska One or two other seen flying, and present in the area most of the day. 6 June Two birds near the Plannigan body again, today and 4f and a 2nd year bird in the village eating garbage. They are really neat, waddle like ducks. The calls includes a metallic "plip plip" and a toy-siren-like "wreayyyy reayyy reayyy", usually given in flight and often preceded by the "plip plip" call. Upright posture on the ground, but not aggressive behaviour in the air. No wing flapping. Can't tell them with #9 shot. Birds soaring over the area most of the day, occa- sionally turning after passing shrubrid but never attacking them. 7 June Adults conspicuous locally, especially along the Meade River near the village. Only adults seen. Watched one hovering like a kestrel over the slope behind camp. 8 June Fewer in #8. One seen. Parasitic Jaegers near the village, this attack begun by adults and latter a 2nd bird joined it. Noisier as usual. All adults. 9 June Several adults seen in the village and over the pools on the Meade. Some aerial, intra- specific chasing, a call "Kyow" rather like but high-pitched parasitic notes from one. Don't seem to be bothering terns. One seen at an old Plannigan kill. Little activity in the evening.
