Three species occur on the Atlantic coast. The jagers
pursue other species of gulls and force them to disgorge
their prey. The two middle tail feathers are usually
decidedly longer than the rest. Called also boatswain,
and marline-spike bird. The name is also applied to the
skua, or Arctic gull (Megalestris skua).
