Unfortunately the gate is closed today because neither Scott nor I could be there today. It will also be closed this weekend. Please email me if you really want to get there..

I just attempted to post pix of Jaeger on my Flickr site. If successful, Comments as to ID are most welcome. www.flickr.com/photos/avocetfm/ Frank Mantlik Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 21, 2016, at 10:45 AM, Frank Mantlik <mantlik@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > > Jaeger not relocated as of 10:44, but lots of gulls feeding on small 2" fish (Peanut bunker?), and wind steady atom SSE. > FM > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Oct 21, 2016, at 9:57 AM, Frank Mantlik via CTBirds <ctbirds@lists.ctbirding.org> wrote: >> >> 10/21.

Four colleagues have viewed my Jaeger photos, and have weighed in on ID. All four think it was (an adult) PARASITIC. I will post original photos later (tonight).
