Waterbird Count, August 30

Had another Jaeger today and managed some photos. Upon review, structure and plumage seem to point to an immature Parasitic Jaeger, which is the most probable species of Jaeger at this time of the year. Another highlight was a single flock of 40 Bonaparte’s Gulls — the largest flock I’ve had on the count thus far. Aside from that, it was a fairly slow day.
