30 may Barrows, Alaska
circle around when a wandering
jaeger came into an area. Twice
a wing raising display was performed
by both birds on the ground. In
the case, The wings are raised high over
head + the head either held back
or extended forward. Usually a
rather loud cry accompanied the display.
31 may Barrow, Alaska.
Numbers seem to have increased
during the day. Maker estimates a 3-4X
increase in the central ward region.
Birds seem to be evenly spaced
out + ever wide expansion snow
while have a pair or two of jaeger
sitting on it + defending this area
against others.
1 June Barrow, Alaska
Scattered jaegers were present below
APL and Skovoid. No large numbers

settling on the lake. Along the
west side, pairs seemed to be
established every 5 mile or so. No
clarge concentrations were observed.

jaeger populations in the Skovoid
