There was a nice movement of birds today with 7 jaegers being seen.  Three
parasitic and a long-tailed were in fairly close, but the other three were
out pretty far and went as jaeger spp.  All three of the unidentified by
seeing groups of Bonaparte's flying above the waves.  The jaegers were all
spotted below them flying low over the waves.  I wonder how many others may
have been missed?
