The weather sites on internet forecasted winds from the east at 10-15 =
mph and a chance of rain of 50%. WELL they were wrong! the winds were =
gusting at 25-30mph from the east and it basically rained all day! The =
waves were cresting nearly 7 feet! So the boat tri pwas cancelled due to =
the weather BUT that did not stop me in showing my group of 26 birders =
some jaegers. We birded the 12 street viewing area at Park Point and =
also down in the park at the bath house.=20
- 3 Parasitic Jaegers ( adult light morph adults )
- 5 unidentified jaegers species=20
* We did not see any Sabine's Gulls or Little Gulls.
I am though aware that birders did see 2-3 Sabine's Gulls & the juv. =
Little Gull at the 12th Street viewing area today. These sightings were =
between 9am and 10am. Also birders at WI Pt reported a Sabine's Gull as =
well.
Other birds today:
-Dunlin
-Field Sparrow near the bath house at Park Pt. ( Matt Mecklenberg found =
the sparrow )
-Water Pipits, Lapland Longspurs were found at the Bayside Park.
-2 Peregrine Falcons at Lafayette Square=20
** Birders without scopes were able to get fine looks of the jaegers =
from shore. Tomorrows forecast is suppose to be a partly cloudy day =
with 14 mph. northwest winds Hawk Ridge should redeem itself from its =
washout today. I would bet there were more jaeger sightings today vs. =
hawk sightings, Sunday should be the other way around.=20
