Today about noon Nancy and I and Alan Grenon observed a single near adult
PARASITIC JAEGER pass by off West Point in Discovery Park, briefly pausing
to harass a Caspian Tern. Also noted 14 RED-NECKED PHALAROPES off shore, 10
Western and 2 Least Sandpipers on the beach at the point, some Surf and
White-winged Scoters, Double-crested and one Pelagic Cormorant, and a goodly
number of Rhinoceros Auklets passing in mid-channel.
Also three Olive-sided Flycatchers, a few Evening Grosbeaks, two
Black-headed Grosbeaks, and a smattering of warblers for land birds.
