Long-tailed Jaeger

Somewhat overdue life bird for me. The last of the jaegers that I needed. The most important factor, when it comes to IDing this bird, is the tail shape. Overall it's a pretty typical Long-tailed, though (I called it a Parasitic when I first saw it, but that was quickly corrected by others on board and when it approached closely was obviously wrong).
