Parasitic Jaeger

Also known as Arctic Skua, Parasitic Skua, Arctic Jaeger

Parasitic Jaegers are agile aerial acrobats of the high northern latitudes, known for relentlessly chasing gulls and terns to steal their freshly caught fish. On their tundra breeding grounds, adults nest directly on open ground and fiercely defend their eggs with dramatic injury-feigning displays and swooping aerial dives. During migration and winter, they roam wide open oceans across the southern hemisphere, leading mostly solitary lives offshore.
