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.
