To follow up on Mike Hendrickson's posting earlier this afternoon: As
of the time I left the 31st St / Lafayette Square observation site

jaeger sightings. Most were too distant to safely ID: i.e., either
juveniles or darker
At about 5:15 pm today a distant Sabine's Gull was briefly in view
out from Lafayette Square at Park Point. Jim Mattson, Doug Kieser,

yesterday morning. A juvenile Sabine's Gull (probably the same one seen

other birders previously mentioned by others today, Doug and I tallied no fewer
than 20 sightings of jaegers between 1:30-6:30pm.
