Parasitic Jaeger

Parasitic Jaeger nests in coastal tundra and migrate along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, so every fall on east winds birders and photographers head to the lake to see if one can be found. Over the weekend a single bird delighted birders and photographers alike in Hamilton, Ontario. Lighting conditions were poor at times and when the bird flew he came straight up the beach and flew about 10 feet over our heads. Not great for images, but fun to watch all the same.
