Pomarine Jaeger
The Pomarine Jaeger is a large seabird belonging to the family Stercorariidae. It is known for its distinctive long, pointed wings and a robust body. This bird is primarily found in the Arctic during the breeding season and migrates to temperate and tropical regions in winter. Its diet mainly consists of fish and other seabirds, which it often steals from them, a behavior known as kleptoparasitism.
These birds are characterized by their striking plumage, which varies between dark brown and light gray, with a notable white cap on their heads during the breeding season. The Pomarine Jaeger is also recognized for its impressive flight skills, often soaring gracefully over the ocean. They are typically seen in coastal areas and are known for their aggressive behavior when defending their nests.
