About These Birds

Arctic Jaeger

Arctic Jaeger (Parasitic Jaeger), 41–46 cm plus tail, is the commonest jaeger, breeding across Arctic tundra and wintering in tropical and subtropical seas. Highly piratical; pursues terns and gulls relentlessly to steal fish. Polymorphic: pale and dark morphs occur. Circumglobal migration through all oceans.

Pomarine Jaeger

Pomarine Jaeger, 46–51 cm plus twisted spoon-shaped central tail feathers, is the largest of the three small jaegers. Breeds on Russian and Canadian Arctic tundra; lemming-dependent on breeding grounds. Heavily built; pirates food from other seabirds at sea and scavenges at whale carcasses. Pelagic in winter.
