Hi All: Two jaegers were chasing Caspian Terns east of the Pt Defiance ferry terminal this moring. Now until early Oct is the peak jaeger viewing around Pt. Defiance, especially if common terns are present. Otherwise look for Caspians or Bonaparte's gulls and if no jaegers are flying, they are usually nearby sitting on the water. Also a two rhino auklets flew by.
