The 2 Sabines and the Long-tailed and Parasitic Jaeger were still present when I left at 3:30. The Long-tailed jaeger was flying regular circuits of the lake, harassing the Bonaparte's Gulls and on several occasions, the Sabine's Gulls. The Parasitic was harder to see as it spent most of the time sitting on the water, however, on one occasion it chased a Herring Gull, only to be dive bombed by the Long-tailed! Both birds are dark juveniles. I only saw the third bird once, on reflection it may have been the same Parasitic. Lots of other birds present including 100+ Bonaparte's Gull. The best viewing was to be had from Biederman Park, off Biederman road, located off Lac Dore Road, but I also saw them from Church Point Road on the east side of the lake. Directions as below.
