Jaeger Long-tailed (Stercorarius longicaudus) chasing reindeer- Arctic, Norway

The Long-tailed Jaeger (Stercorarius longicaudus) is breeding so perhaps had laid its egg so chased two reindeer that were moulting for summer away from her ground nest.  They certainly took flight from her swooping and screeching.
