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.
