M. Brock 1957 Stecorarius parasitius July 18 Barrow, Northern Alaska I started searching the area. After a while I saw a duck "limping" away and after looking for a couple of minutes I found a feathery nest with four light green, unhatched eggs. I believe the bird was a female Steller's eider. This duck seemed to be the only possible thing the jaegers could have been living at. July 28 A parasitic jaeger was seen flying about Traps line VIII as I approached the line. It stayed within the vicinity until I finished about half the transect. This line, as well do line VII, have been catching a large number of juvenile longspurs. On today's check four traps had freshly eaten birds in them with just a few pieces of meat remaining and another four traps were missing. I assume, therefore, that the jaeger had been at work on the line.
