Stercorarius longicaudus
14 June While Steve and I were observing the Ruddy Turnstones
on the W. side of Elson Lagoon, a longtailed Jaeger. The
Turnstone - 5 of them - chased the Jaeger by making much
noise and by diving at it.
21 June One bird over the shore of Elson Lagoon
5 July One bird over North Salt Lagoon
9 July Three birds over South Salt Lagoon at 19:30
15 July One bird S. of Honey Bucket Lagoon
17 July Many longtails in Central Marsh and Holmes Morass.
19 July A flock of seven and two birds over P's census plot during
the afternoon censuses.
26 July At Meade River, one bird along the river at 22:30.
27 July Chased a bird off its prey, which turned out to be a Red
Shalarope fledgling with the primaries still 1½ cm in the sheaths.
24 Aug. Back at Barrow, I saw one bird hovering over the tumcha
in the Cake Eater area.
