Beaver 1967 species account Parasitic Jaeger 13 June Barrel area, 9 ft. St. Bannu Alaska 1045 I just sighted a dark bird with short, pointed center rectrices which I believe to be a parasitic Jaeger. The bird flew with a slow wing beat across the tundra east and out of sight. 15 June 0930 Karl T. and I just saw a dark, gull like bird which Karl and I thought was a parasitic Jaeger. The central rectrices were short and pointed. It flew to the east a short distance and then to the S.West, close to the ground. 5 July I collected a beautiful bird, Parasitic Jaeger in the Barrel area. The bird is in excellent plumage so I decided to put him up on skin. 2 July The Jaeger's skin is very greasy so I had to wash it in white gas.
