These three Parasitic Jaegers were seen flying from the east to the west on the afternoon of September 8th, 2012 at Marquette Beach/Miller Beach on the Indiana Lakefront. The bird on the right is a dark morph Parasitic, but the age is undetermined. I'm leaning towards a juvenile based on a larger white patch (at least when compared to the plates in Sibley).

Long Beach goaltender Brett Jaeger, #31, warming up before the game. On this night (Jan 6) he was the backup goalie.
Jaegers fascinate me - even though they're gulls, in my mind I think raptor.
I took this picture on a hill in the Arctic tundra. Around us, for miles, lay a sea of cottongrass. Beyond that sea - untouched wilderness. Miles of it. It is such a vast landscape it has to be experienced to be understood.
I heard a story of an Inuit who dropped out of college -
"All those rooms and corridors confused me...Where was the sun - I couldn't tell."
People say Alaska is America's last great wilderness. I think I understand why they say that - it's the daylight that lasts around the clock, it's the tundra, it's the wildflowers, it's the birds.
I'm absolutely in love with the Arctic, but it's a hurried romance. Alaska is changing. Rapidly.
In the abundance of the arctic summer one realizes what we all lose, should we lose Alaska.
