At Barrier Lake we observed three long-tailed jaegers, all chasing and harassing a glaucous gull. |
These were the mounted Hessian riflemen, the dreaded Jaegers. |
The Jaegers alternated between hope and despair, but mostly the ruling emotion was rage. |
You may also observe jaegers, terns, and petrels as they make their long ocean journey and be rewarded with views of flying fish and the occasional humpback whale. |
The primary predators of eggs and goslings at the study site are herring gulls, parasitic jaegers, ravens and Arctic foxes. |
During our study, pomarine jaegers and snowy owls nested only in the same years as Steller's eiders. |
