SPLWays 1975 Stercorarius pomarinus Britton area, 1 km W of NAPL, Pt Barrow, Alaska 10 June -1035 watched hunting sequence in jaeger: bird had already landed, was tearing apart vegetation with its bill; not too actively, but once every 4-5 seconds it would grab some + throw it aside, then would be about. some flurry of activity. another jaeger flew in (RAP thinks original was 8, second 9) only to be attacked + chased away - it flew ~75 m + landed. then original jaeger caught a lemming, handled it for less than 5 sec, and flew over to the bird which it had just chased away: the second bird, after what looked like a grapple, threw at the lemming. However before the two were finished their bout (within 20 seconds) 5 other jaegers piled into @ their vicinity.
