Juvi jaeger and at least 2 SAGUs. Jaeger is along the dam in the middle of Lake. Chocolate brown, significant white in under wing. Substantial looking but also distant.

Jaeger looks like the jaeger photos posted on COnitds recently. Lot of white underwing but no double crescent. So doubt Pom. Longish pale bill. Black only on tip. Leaning Parasitic. But Distant

I was able to return to Cherry Creek after a couple of appointments. After seeing and photographing the juvi jaeger, I believe like Joe Roller, it is a Parasitic Jaeger. It has no 'double flash', is warm brown and has a nail about 1/3 the length of the thin bill. Bird is actively chasing gulls. Several birders viewing it from the lake loop.
