I scanned the lake from Lafayette Square (31st St. access) at Park
Point today from 12:00 to 2:00 pm and saw two juvenile Pomarine
Jaegers at close range, as well as a light morph Parasitic Jaeger.
The Pomarines were flying together nearly in tandem, and at one point
flew so close along the beach that I had to step away from my scope
and use binoculars. They were identical in appearance and size,
except that one was just a shade darker than the other. Earlier, one
was was seen flying with a light morph Parasitic, and the difference
in body shapes and manueverability between the two species were very
obvious. A pair of Surf Scoters flew by, but no unusual gulls or
terns were seen.
