Apparently this post got rejected because despite multiple efforts to register my hotmail account, the listserv still, still, STILL won't accept posts from it. Anyway, here it is, with apologies for the lateness: Excellent birding at Lakewood Park Saturday afternoon. Dozens of Common loons and Horned grebes within ready scope range, thousands of Red-breasted mergansers, and a solitary Chimney swift working the bluffs. About 1 p.m. a Parasitic jaeger (possibly a subadult light-morph, since it showed a very light strip at the base of the tail) showed up and attacked the HELL out of a Ring-billed gull, with a series of skirmishes lasting about three minutes. At one point the gull had been forced down to the water and the jaeger was practically standing on the gull's head. Eventually the score was gull - one meal lost, jaeger - one meal gained, and the jaeger disappeared eastward. Good birding.
