Stercorarius longicaudus
Order: Charadriiformes
Family: Stercorariidae (Skuas and Jaegers)
This graceful little predator is the rarest of the three jagers that appear in fall on western Lake Superior, but the easiest to see in the Nome area of Alaska during the breeding season, where a patch of tundra may be dotted with nesting Long-tailed Jaegers.
