Sorry if this is a repeat, but
I tried posting this earlier,
and it never came through

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.
