Long-tailed Jaeger
A Long-tailed Jaeger (Stercorarius longicaudus) rests on the tundra in Nome, Alaska. These swift-flying seabirds spend the majority of their lives far out at sea, only coming inland to breed on the tundra. South of the Arctic, these birds seldom come within sight of land. It was so special to see them at close range and in good numbers in Nome!
(This bird was not on a nest when I photographed it.)
