Hi all, With a moderate SW wind blowing onshore, as we sunned on the beach at parking Lot #9, I saw a flock of Bonaparte's Gulls a fair distance out. My brother and his wife were visiting from Princeton NJ and we were planning to walk down the beach to look for shorebirds. To my surprise I saw a light juvenile Long -tailed Jaeger harassing the bonies and excitedly directed Juris to the location (his NA list is only ~170!!) and he was finally able to get on the bird. We both watched it on and off for ~5/6 mins before losing it below the horizon. About 10 mins later we again saw some agitated flight in the gulls in same general area - I estimate that they were off beach parking # 3. As we looked three Jaegers came into view - 2 of which were a bit larger and showed more white in the wings, especially visible in the darker of these two. We continued observing these three in turn, although I never had all 3 in my view at once after the first sighting. What a fantastic double-header for J. and after I had said there was no hope of seeing anything interesting on a SW wind. We also walked south on the natural beach area and saw 21 Sanderling, 2 Lesser yellowlegs, 4 Herring Gull and many Ring-billed - also Common Terns numbered ~80 in a steady stream closer to shore with just one Black Tern, as we sat 'watching the show.
