While other birders were jostling each other for looks at the Ground Dove in Bloomington, Judy Chucker and I drove up to Wisconsin Point on Tuesday 10/19 to find jaegers.
We were rewarded by great views of a Long-tailed Jaeger chasing gulls over the lake, often flying directly overhead. It was a tough assignment, lounging on camp chairs in the warm sunshine with the wind protection of the sand berm and a jaeger performing regularly. Also seen: Franklin's Gull, Common Merganser, Horned Grebes, Snow Buntings, Bald Eagles. Thanks to all the other folks on the beach with their scopes and expertise. -- Claudia Egelhoff Minneapolis, MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
