A bird was seen to attack a §
Spectacled Eider - by during at he
Several times - at which she waddled
off into a pool. The jaeger still kept
at her - flying low - hovering above her -
while she splashed water with her
beating wings. Finally, she took flight
& the jaeger did not follow. The
actual maneuver made by the § & the
jaeger were not observed accurately -
since we all happened to be about 30 sec.

(landed) - saw 1 would be flown - so
1 less (decreased). - The nest was
not found this season.
