Not a bad flight today.  Highlight were two parasitic jaegers that were
together and flew around a little chasing some ring-billed gulls before
sitting on the lake and slowly floated east out of view.  They were not seen
again.

In contrast to Jen's report of hundreds of monarchs, I saw very few today.
I saw the lowest number in my yard in recent days.  It is interesting how
different the lakeshore can be.
