Looking for the Jaeger
By:
SUPERIOR - With their spotting scopes, cameras and radios about 100 bird watchers from all over flocked to Wisconsin Point to see the Jaeger. It's a rare bird that chases gulls until they regurgitate fish, which then the jaeger will eat to fill up their fat reserves before they migrate.
It's the16th year the group has come to Wisconsin Point to see the bird.
"People enjoy finding their own birds but it's also an opportunity at least on an annual basis to catch up with friends you haven't seen for a while,” Wisconsin Society for Ornithology Field Trip Committee co-chair Jeff Baughman said.
“People with like interest, it's become a tradition," said Jeff Baughman also co-chair for the Wisconsin Society for Ornithology Field Trip Committee.
The group also has a dance they believe summons the jaeger.
