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,
and I watched as it was harassed by the Pomarine Jaeger while flying
out over the lake towards Wisconsin. I could make out the bold black
and white pattern on the wings as well as at least a partial hood,
but I couldn't tell if it was an adult or juvenile. Dave
Grosshuesch, and Don Keinholz arrived a little later and we had some
more decent looks at the Pomarine as it flew far out over the lake
and occasionally chased a passing gull. We also saw a probable adult
light morph Parasitic Jaeger and 3-4 other unidentified distant
jaegers.
