Apologies for the continued posting about the Van Wagner's Long-tailed Jaeger, but this bird continued to be extremely cooperative throughout the day. Those with a few hours to spare were rewarded with surprisingly good views as it travelled the beach to harass Ring-billed Gulls. Later in the afternoon, it was joined by a juvenile Long-tailed Jaeger which also made for excellent viewing.
While impossible to predict, the weather forecast for tomorrow (Sept 20) is very similar to conditions today. Could be another chance to see this normally difficult species in Ontario. Sabine's Gulls and Parasitic Jaegers were also seen well this afternoon from shore. I've added some photos of the bird to my website, along with a few quick ID points on the top of the page here: http://www.peregrineprints.com/ind__Blog.htm Good luck!
