Long-tailed Jaeger. St. Paul, AK. 05/22/13. Photo by Doug Gochfeld.
Awesome subadult Long-tailed Jaeger with a darkish belly that came in and circled the van at point blank range for a short time.
This jaeger was seen eating a bit of seal discarded from a passing four-wheeler on the road outside of Savoonga, St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.
Seeing jaegers on the tundra gave me a new understanding for the life cycle of what I had always considered to be seabirds. I may refer to them (and shorebirds) as "tundra birds" from now on. Near Nome, Alaska.
These three Parasitic Jaegers were seen flying from the east to the west on the afternoon of September 8th, 2012 at Marquette Beach/Miller Beach on the Indiana Lakefront. The bird on the right is a dark morph Parasitic, but the age is undetermined. I'm leaning towards a juvenile based on a larger white patch (at least when compared to the plates in Sibley).

I think this one is a Parasitic. It has a thinner bill, less bulky body, and thinner wings than the other bird. The short pointed streamers also support this. The amount of white on the wings is appropriate too, on 5 primaries. The main negative I see is the straightly barred undertail coverts without any sign of buffieness. It also has a strange blonde head, perhaps showing it is older? Or just molting more quickly?

This adult was working on this dead, but still very much intact, collared lemming. The BNA account states that "having detected prey, [LTJA] often pursues it on foot and pecks it until it is dead; never uses feet to capture prey." Judging from this bird's progress, eating a large lemming like this might be a laborious process (again, the BNA account mentions that, if not eaten whole, a large lemming might take as long as 30 minutes to consume).
