Holmes, R. 1961 Stercorarius longicaudis 17 June Barrow, Alaska 1 seen, being harassed by phalaropus - near grassline ridge. 20 June 1 seen near Qbarail. 24 June 2 seen with a parasitic gaper at The B.R. (see parasitism). 1 individual seen flying No. at Wold-sough. 27 June Barrow - Qbarail, Alaska A flock of 10 seen sitting & flying in The plat. One bird was pecking at a mummified Lemming - when it refused to leave until I was less than 10' away. The Lemming seemed too far gone to provide any food value - so again it looks like the birds are scavenging. They may be taking bird eggs. ?! 9 July Flock of 7 individuals feeding at The South end of Wold-sough - were they been picking insects from the grass (?)?. Chamberlain reports a Flock of 40+ at The south end of central marsh - 2 were collected. 11 July 4 Seen near insect plot. All storme (2) hoof myriads of adult crane fly remaine - so this hawking behaviour is apparent to catch insects.
