Hi Nadine and other Jaeger enthusiasts:

We are still seeing Parasitic Jaeger (2 as of this morning and 4 yesterday
10/14,10/13) on the Seattle-Bainbridge ferry. They can be found between
Blakely Rock and Eagle Harbor. I suggest looking in the early morning as
light is better at that time. They are there all day, from my
observations.

Often they are on the peripheral of the large flock of Bonapartes Gulls,
sometimes harassing them. Other times they sit right in the ferry lanes.
Look for a dark colored bird with distinctly pointy wings among the the
lighter gulls.

Earlier in the season I often saw them floating more mid channel between
Alki and Resoration/Blakely harassing passing terns. Resting on the water
near drifts of debris/seaweed. Now that the terns have mostly moved on
they have been more consistent near Blakely Rock. For that reason, I
suggest a ferry ride, rather than your scope if you want to see the PAJA.

Cheers!
Michelle
