This Parasitic Jaeger was chasing Ring-billed Gulls at the foot of 112 st at Boundary Bay. At first I thought I saw rounded tail streamers suggesting Pomarine Jaeger, but closer photos show the points of the tail streamers are worn off looking like rounded tips.

Typically pelagic birds, jaegers (skuas) are uncommonly seen on the beach, apparently resting during migration. This is probably the same one that was seen on Morro Strand State Beach the past couple days.

Gulf Stream Pelagic Birding Trip. May 13, 2022. First day.

Way outside of my comfort zone. Each stripe is 4 studs. Foot is six studs. Below the knee is six studs. Above the knee will have to widen to 8-9 to be in line with the waist.
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.

Close up picture of the intermediate morph Parasitic Jaeger that stayed along the Ottawa River for 17 day -a record for a Jaeger in Ottawa! It was not located on the 30th, the day after I photographed it; it probably took advantage of the cold front that moved in over our region to finally leave.

On my last couple of trips to Nome I had seen a few Long-tailed Skusa [or Jaeger] but my photos were not particularly good. However this year they were commoner and often perching close to the road. These are two different birds showing the dusky undertail and overall grey colouration - usually the best way to tell them at a distance. I had hoped for good in-flight shots but wind direction meant that whenever I saw them hovering they were facing away from me. LTS spends most of its life far out to sea where it steals food from terns. During the breeding season they come onto the tundra to breed and hunt for voles, lemmings, insects and chicks - hovering like a kestrel over the moors.

The Arctic Skua (or Parasitic Jaeger) is a regular, though very scarce, winter visitor to Greece. Most birds are seen in the sea areas off the large wetlands of the north. They spend most of the time afar from the coast; this ind., however, made a quick pass overhead at the coast of Kalochori, Thessaloniki!
40 St Mary's St, Stamford, Lincolnshire PE9
For a few moments after dinner, the sun came out and Stamford was dripping wet and sunny at the same time. But the sunny break was very brief, as heavy downpour returned once more! English weather is truly very unpredictable and crazy!

Jaeger Mark VI
Location : French Polynesia
Primary weapon: Anti-Kaiju plasma sword
Secondary weapons: 2 Light ballistic cannons
I've been working on this one since early march for the BMDPacificRim challenge on the Brick Mecha Division facebook page : www.facebook.com/groups/brickmechadivision/?fref=nf
I used almost all the blue pieces of the Lightning jet (70614) to build this guy.
All the dark blue I have is 1x2 plates and some wedge plates. Trying to work them in where possible, fill in gaps in the boot, and finish the calf. I’ll work on the upper leg tomorrow.
I might as well try to approach year end on a positive note with some smart clothes and besides it might cheer me up because it's taking some time to finally ditch this nasty head cold.
I don't know whether this is a wrap of some kind (I suspect it is), but it looks damed good!
Nice to see Jaeger Lecoultre featuring. Wouldn't mind a Reverso: never had a rectanglar watch. :-)
