Hi Tweets -
Following up on the recent sightings, as did Penny, I headed to
Richmond Beach this morning [just south of Edmonds, in King Co]. From
7:00 - 9:00, there was a nice flock of Bonaparte's Gulls around. In
amongst them were at least 5 Parasitic Jaegers. A few Common Terns
were mixed in too, as well as 10 or so Red-necked Phalaropes and
several Heerman's Gulls. It was the best showing of Parasitic Jaegers
I've had outside of Point-No-Point or pelagics.

A joint outing to Edmonds and Richmond Beach would probably be a good
idea if you'd like to see the fun.
