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).

Awesome subadult Long-tailed Jaeger with a darkish belly that came in and circled the van at point blank range for a short time.

Jaeger was found by a Stray Rescue Volunteer. She tried to find his family but had no success. It seems someone did not want him any longer and dumped him in a nice neighborhood. Which is unfortunate because he is an awesome pooch. Jaeger loves everyone he meets including people and dogs but he has not been introduced to cats yet. And everyone who meets him loves him too. He is so sweet & submissive he would fit in great with a family that already has a dog. He is a very gentle boy so he does great on a leash and in the car. It's hard to tell from his pictures but he is chocolate with white paws. He has been neutered, micro chipped and vaccinated so he is ready for adoption. All you have to do is fill out an application to meet him at an event or have him come to your home. Then take him for Rent-a-pet.
Seeing jaegers on the tundra gave me a new understanding for the life cycle of what I had always considered to be seabirds. I may refer to them (and shorebirds) as "tundra birds" from now on. Near Nome, Alaska.

I think this one is a Parasitic. It has a thinner bill, less bulky body, and thinner wings than the other bird. The short pointed streamers also support this. The amount of white on the wings is appropriate too, on 5 primaries. The main negative I see is the straightly barred undertail coverts without any sign of buffieness. It also has a strange blonde head, perhaps showing it is older? Or just molting more quickly?
