Not the typical backdrop for a Atlantic coast Parasitic Jaeger- this bird was harassing Bonaparte's Gulls, Barnegat Light State Park, Barnegat Light, Ocean Co., NJ 11-28-2011
Three Jaegers harassing Bonaparte's.
One Jaeger, though, is mostly white in colour and appeared slighter to me as I took the photographs.
Seen here landing with 2 of 42 Long-tailed Jaegers on St. Pau lsland witnessed that day. This bird was only cavorting with LTJAs.
A distant jaeger, presumably Parasitic but in the field recalled Long-tailed like with apparently short bill (with extensive dusky tip), golen nape and white shafts restricted to 2 or 3 primaries. Too distant to be sure.

Trying to sort out the jaegers. This is the same bird as the two more recent adjoining images (to the left in the photostream). Upper parts more gray than brown as on a Pomarine, although I wonder if this photograph is good enough to make this distinction. Photographed on a Shearwater Journeys pelagic cruise out of Monterey.
A grounded parasitic jaeger on the beach at Michigan City in the autumn of 1984, Much debate followed its presence there for several days where it was observed closely by many "experts". At first it was thought to be a pomarine jaeger, then a parasitic, then a pomarine, but later in the lab it was positively identified as a parasitic jaeger, post-mortem. I stuck with parasitic from the outset against more experienced jaeger experts. This bird was as close as 15 feet, while most jaegers are seen at 100 yards or more. How sure cam we be of the jaeger species being correctly identified at the fall lakefront watch at Marquette Park/Miller Beach. A digital scan from a Kodachrome slide. September 24, 1984
