With the birds being physically ready they took what was available. 18 June Tried once more to find the nests but did not succeed. A Parasitic Jaeger flew over and was being chased by five birds, suggesting that I am dealing with 3 pairs. 21 June. The Turnstones at Elson hagoon are still incubating. The males repeatedly chased off approaching Jaegers - Parasitic and longtailed. They fly out to meet the intruder when the distance is still some 1/4 of a mile away and continue to harass it till the poor bird is an equal distance flying away from the nest. It looks like other shore birds do not foster the jaegers 23 June Found a nest with 4 eggs in the polygons in the SE corner of Honey Bracket hagoon. The only way to find these nests is to get close to the general area before the male has a chance to
