Hello Ontbirders The alert placed yesterday of a Pomarine Jaeger at Bate Island should be amended to Parasitic Jaeger.
After carefully studying photos, the bird is determined to be an intermediate morph juvenile Parasitic Jaeger. Close observation and studying clear photos revealed a fairly thin bill, pointy central rectricies, buffy chevrons on the primary tips, and an overall slight build. Although the bird wasn't present at 5:00pm yesterday (Thursday) evening, hopefully it's still somewhere in the area, and faring well.
