Hey all - Yesterday, Ray Hannikmann suggested that a jaeger flight was taking place, and after watching the lake today from Lorain and Huron, I would tend to agree. At least five total jaegers were seen, including three (2 Parasitic, 1 Pomarine) flying together at the mouth of Lorain Harbor and another Parasitic and one better left at jaeger sp. at Huron Harbor. At Huron, a rufousy juvenile intermediate Parasitic appeared suddenly overhead and turned several fairly lazy circles, before taking off and dive-bombing the harbor...the best looks hands-down I've ever had of one. I managed one crappy picture. Overall, a fabulous day to be on the lake, where the species list definitely didn't match the weather. Other highlights included a PURPLE SANDPIPER at Lorain, which flew in and appeared to land along the breakwall, and a Franklin's and five Lesser Black-backed Gulls in the throng at Huron.
