The Parasitic Jaeger, otherwise called the Arctic Skua or Parasitic Skua, (Stercorarius parasiticus) is a seabird in the skua family Stercorariidae.
This species breeds in the north of Eurasia and North America, with huge populaces as far south as northern Scotland. It settles on dry tundra, higher fells and islands, laying up to four olive-tan eggs. It is more often than not quiet with the exception of newing and wailing notes while on the reproducing grounds. Like different skuas, it will fly at the head of a human or fox approaching its home. Even though it can't dispense genuine harm, it is a startling and terrible experience. It is a vagrant, wintering at ocean in the tropics and southern seas.
In North America, ice skuas are reputed to be parasitic jaegers. This bite of a moniker demonstrates both parts of the creature's nourishing reasoning. "Kleptoparasitism" is the term for taking sustenance from different species, while "jaeger" is determined from the German "seeker.
A medium-estimated dim-looking seabird with sharp wings, and pale fixes at the wingtips. Frequently viewed flying flat and quick above the waves in chase for a tern or other flying creature, frequently pursuing it towering into the air, curving and turning, to make it drop its sustenance. It comes to land just to breed and is forceful towards interlopers into its rearing domain.
Ice skuas exist the majority of their lives at ocean, and come shorewards just to breed in the Arctic summer. Once junior jaegers leave the home, they may not visit arrive for two years-until they have themselves arrived at rearing age.
