FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Long-tailed Jaeger Ky Dam 2 September 2004

[David Roemer <dlroemer@xxxxxxxxx>]

The jaeger was again present today above Ky. Dam. 
Nancy Moore and I first spotted it at approximately
10:30 cst from the eastern-most pullout on the dam. 
It spent most of the day a good mile above the dam,
and a lot of patience may be needed to find it.  Keep
scanning the water for the sitting bird, and the tree
line and sky above the tree line for the flying bird. 
It appears dark whether flying or on the water.  It
was seen chasing gulls several times, and as of
mid-afternoon it was resting on the water well over a
mile above the dam toward the western side of the
lake.

A 2nd winter-plumaged Laughing Gull was also present
above the dam.

Good luck,

dave
