Stercorarius pomarinus
19 August Barrow, Alaska
The nest was checked, and the
adults were still present and
attending the young. The chick has
begun to feather out and will
probably leave the nest
within a week or so.
21 August Barrow, Alaska
The young jaeger had left the nest
by 1300 today. The adults were
still present & attacked me
as I neared the nest. They soon
flew off in a westerly direction
& seemed to stay about 300
yards away. - After searching for
the young was not found,
but it was probably somewhere
close by.
25 August Barrow, Alaska
6 seen in Central Marsh, flying
low on the tundra towards the
nest.
26 August Barrow, Alaska
One seen in Central Marsh. None
seen in the vicinity of the
nest as I left. Bare.
28 August Barrow, Alaska
One seen near footprint Lake. Now
