Stercorarius panarinus
Banow, Northern Alaska
Three panarine jager, were observed
"dive bombing" a snowy owl (see owl
notes). One especially scared its talons
to the owl every time it dove. The
jager never did come close enough
to the owl which was peached on the
ground.
July 19
While I was in the vicinity of transects
XI and XII I saw a large group
of about thirty birds flying west
at a point maybe a mile north-
west of the gas well. The birds were
large and dark and could not
have been anything but jagers. Later
while setting out transects XI & XII
I observed approximately 20 birds
flying near me, sitting about
or flying in the distance. I believe
they were a mixture of the three
kinds of jagers.
