You've found a weak point in our species guide! Although we have 584 species accounts at present, we don't yet have accounts for any of the jaegers—that's why you couldn't find them. We do hope to upgrade this in the near future, so please check back. In the meantime, you can get a courtesy preview of the jaeger accounts in Birds of North America Online http://bna.birds.cornell.edu or sign up for a month for only $5. Thanks for using our site and we'll try to get to those jaegers soon. Hi Matthew. You’ve found a weak point in our species guide!

Does one have to pay to access this information, or is there something I'm not doing properly? I’ve just spent some time trying to access your entries for Jaegers, but to no avail.

In an attempt to feed them, we put a cut orange out.. It's been over 2 weeks and the only thing feeding off the oranges are ants. Is there a certain height to put this? It's about 6ft off the ground. What is the secret to attracting finches to the thistle feeder? We have both a feeder and socks out, I changed the sock feed thinking it may be 'older'.. I've seen the yellow finches flying through, so I know they are around. Thank you for your suggestions.. Debbie Hi,

I like to just browse around and learn something new everyday. It would be great though if there was a way to get a listing of birds likely to be in a certain state or region, even better if it could also be by season due to the variation in the those that live in the area year round, summer, and stop over during migration. Beginning birders and youngsters could really benefit by having an idea of what birds they are likely to find where they live or vacation. The site is wonderful – one of my favorites.
