Custer, T. W., and Pitelka, F. A., 1987, Nesting by pomarine jaegers near Barrow, Alaska, 1971: Journal of Field Ornithology, v. 58, no. 2, p. 225-230. Abstract: An estimated 5.7 pairs of pomarine jaegers (Stercorarius pomarinus ) km super(-2) (14.8 mi super(-2)) nested near Barrow, Alaska, in 1971. Hatching success of 67 eggs (34 nests) was 57%. Fledging success of 44 nestlings (26 nests) was 32%. An estimated 0.4 young survived to 25 d of age per nesting attempt. Low fledging success is explained by an abrupt decline in lemming abundance.
