==Breeding== [[File:Chaluha malΓ‘.jpg|left|thumb|Long-tailed jaeger illustration by [[Johann Friedrich Naumann]]]] This species breeds in the high Arctic of [[Palearctic|Eurasia]] and [[North America]], with major populations in [[Russia]], [[Alaska]] and [[Canada]] and smaller populations around the rest of the [[Arctic]]. It is a [[bird migration|migrant]], wintering in the south [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] and [[Pacific]]. Passage juvenile birds sometimes hunt small prey in ploughed fields or golf-courses, and are typically quite fearless of humans. They nest on dry [[tundra]] or higher fells laying two spotted olive-brown eggs. On the breeding grounds they can be heard making yelping and rattling sounds. Outside of the breeding season they spend most of their time over open ocean and have a harsh ''kreeah'' cry. This bird feeds on fish (mainly caught from other seabirds), smaller [[birds]], food scraps, small mammals, fruit and carrion.
