Jack (his lighter version here) and I visited Presqu'ile today to have a gander at any shorebirds—while there we were alerted that a parasitic jaeger was just down the beach from Owen Point. I've only seen jaegers flying, so it was particularly interesting to see this one on the ground.

As we turned to watch a C-17 on approach to CFB Trenton, it must have taken off because as we turned back to look at the bird, it was gone.

English Name: Parasitic Jaeger

JAEGERS! From Girl Genius. I saw them from a distance and they were amazing, even spoke in the weird Jaeger accents.

Photographic evidence that we can on occasion make an effort.

I shot this New England seabird while walking on the beach in Gloucester MA. I took several pictures of this beautiful bird.

After the game, the Hangover captain bought me a shot of Jaeger. I am not sure if it was to celebrate or to punish me.

Dave got this jumper on Valentine's day the year after we were married.

I still have trouble getting it off him to wash!

He and DS organised this photo without my knowledge and posted it on my knitting forum.

Me and my family took a trip to Barcelona. I brought my camera around to every tourist attraction we went to. It was a great experience.
