With limited time I need all the help I can get from CObirds updates.
Thanks, Joe Roller

Looking at 3 jaegers from sand spit. They are hanging around the dam.

We went out on a boat this morning (Mark Chavez, Frank Farrell, Gwen Moore) and got up-close photos. Many are looking at those photos now and being quite perplexed. I hope the one I included here is displayed OK. As noted, 3 birds - 2 hang out really close together, and the 3rd also fairly nearby and sometimes all 3 fly together. Best viewing (if not on boat) might be from the dam, especially if you are willing to climb down to the shoreline.

According to Sibley, only the Long-tailed shows the crisp white barring and only on juveniles.

Hi all,

The 3 jaegers are still present near the dam at Chatfield SP. Viewing from the sandspit.
