To follow up on Mike Hendrickson's posting earlier this afternoon: As of the time I left the 31st St / Lafayette Square observation site (4:15 pm), Jim Mattsson, Doug Kieser and I had several (~8?) more jaeger sightings. Most were too distant to safely ID: i.e., either juveniles or darker adults without projecting central rectrices. However, one was close enough to tell it was a light-morph adult Parasitic with projecting & pointed central tail feathers. All but one of the distant unidentified jaegers appeared to be Parasitics, but one seemed larger overall, less agile in flight, with broader-based wings, and may have been a Pomarine. I would guess we saw a minimum total of 6 individual jaegers.
We had no repeat sighting of the juvenile Little Gull which Mike and I saw about 12:45, but we did see a flock of 6 Cackling Geese with 1 Canada flying in from the lake and heading west. Jim and Doug were still birding when I left, so it is possible they may have additional sightings to report. - Kim Eckert
