Morning All: I stopped at the Dalco overlook at Pt Defiance and there were about 250 Bonaparte's gulls with at least five parasitic jaegers in attendance. Three in the air at one time and two on the water. Also about 20 Rhinos. Great viewing and a great show with calm water and early morning sun showing the flashing white wing patches of both the bonys and jaegers.
