about the of the Barrie district saw Para same size as the Spotted Sandpiper sltic Jaeger in action on Kempen feldt Bay This bird which is rarely seen in this part of the country steals food from birds such as gulls and terns Among those who saw the Jaegr were Mrs John Westman of Tel lendal Mr Massie of Allandale and Dr Brereton of Barrie The Jacger which looks some what like hawk and isabout the same size as the common Ring Bill Gull chases gulls that have caught sh or other food The fast yingnd viciouslaeger makes things so uncomfortable for the gentle gulls that they actually re gurgitate food they hav swallow ed In such instances the Jaeger is fast enough to catch fish drop ped by gull before it reaches the water The Jacger breeds in Greenland and Newfoundland and usuallv migrates down the Atlantic Coast VeTy rarely do theSe birds come sofar inland In fact Dr Brere ton Said there are only two previ ous records of Jaeger being seen in Simcoe County In 1918 Jae ger was shot at the Innisl Beach and about 10 years ago Dev th ofToronto saw one of these birds atWasaga Beach During August Dr Brereton saw another bird rare forthis part of the country While at Wasaga Beach
