Long-tailed Jaeger, Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, ANWR, Alaska.

The long-tailed jaeger is a fascinating and agile bird of prey that can be found in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) in Alaska. These migratory birds are known for their distinctive forked tails and their acrobatic flying style, which they use to chase and catch other birds in midair.

The long-tailed jaeger is a key player in the Arctic ecosystem, helping to keep populations of smaller birds in check and playing a vital role in the food chain.
