72 NORTH AMERICAN FAUNA 76 



Goodnews and Chagvan bays in summer (12-23 July). B. Huf&non 

 (personal communication) reported phalaropes nesting at Ilanik Lakes, 

 and we foimd an altemate-plumaged female at Goodnews Spit on 19 June 

 1974. Fall migrants occurred along the coast from 7 August and were 

 present until 19 September. We foimd fall migrants at Nanvak Bay in 1970 

 and 1973 (7 days total both years, one to six birds per day), but not in 

 1976; at Chagvan Bay in July 1974; and at Goodnews Spit on 14-15 

 September 1977. D. R. Herter and D. Lloyd (personal communication) 

 found two birds at Cape Peirce on 3 August 1981. 



Pomarine jaeger (Stercorarius potnarinus), Rv. 



A few pomarine jaegers were seen along the coast in spring, summer, 

 and fall. We foimd pomarine jaegers at Goodnews Bay (1 on 1 5 September 

 1977), Chagvan Bay (1 on 19 July 1974), Cape Peirce (12 on 12 May and 

 1 on 3 June 1973; 1 on 5 May, 2 on 20 May, 6 on 23 May, and 1 on 1 June 

 1976), and Togiak Bay (1 on 7 July 1962). A flock of five birds were flying 

 north over Chagvan Bay on 27 May 1987 (D. F. Parmelee and J. M. 

 Parmelee, unpublished). D. R. Herter et al. (personal communication) 

 foimd pomarine jaegers at Cape Peirce from 6 to 13 June 1984. 



Parasitic jaeger (Stercorarius parasiticus), Csr, Av (2 May- 12 Sep- 

 tember). 



Parasitic jaegers occurred regularly along the coast— primarily as pairs 

 and singles but occasionally in flocks— and rarely inland. They were seen 

 at Chagvan Bay (D. F. Parmelee and J. M. Parmelee, unpublished), probably 

 nested at flanik Lakes, and nested at Cape Peirce and near the mouth of 

 the Togiak River. One bird was seen inland at the Tuluksak River on 20 July 

 1978 and another at the hills north of Slug Mountain on 10 July 1973. 



At Cape Peirce in 1976, pairs were territorial from 14 May; young 

 fledged by 31 July; families left territories by 3 August; and pairs with 

 young and single adults were seen through fall. In 1973, a pair and a single 

 were near Security Cove on 19 May and 31 August, respectively. Flocks 

 of up to 20 individuals as well as territorial pairs were found along the 

 coast between Goodnews and Chagvan bays in June and July, and groups 

 of up to 30 birds foraged in salmon cannery refuse at the mouth of the 

 Togiak River. We saw jaegers offshore near the Walrus Islands in July 

 1962; P. D. Ameson and D. B. McDonald (personal communication) saw 

 three light- and one dark-phased jaegers at Crooked Island (20-27 June 

 and 1 3 July) and two light-phased jaegers at Hagemeister Island (9 July) 

 in 1977. Light-phased adults were more common than dark-phased adults 

 near Nanvak Bay (2.4:1; TV = 27) in 1970 and 1973- Single-phased pairs 

 were more common than mixed-phased pairs (6:2) in 1970 and 1973-
