  Kentucky Dam 

  Frank Fekel and I saw the Long-tailed 
Jaeger from the east most pull off on Kentucky 
dam this morning at 9:10. It was probably
half a mile away at times, but came closer
on several occasions, allowing fairly decent
looks. During this time it chased a Ring-billed
Gull, and later a stubborn Osprey who refused
to drop his lunch. We were able to get a 
couple of Indiana birders on it before we left
to explore other areas. 
  Later, we stopped back at the pull off at 
11:45, and soon found the bird again, this
time much closer, and watched as it buzzed 
a fishing boat. The fisherman must have had
a great view, as the Jaeger flew to within a few
feet of his boat. We also watched as it chased
a passing Caspian Tern.
 Thanks to all who posted info on this great bird.
