As Daryl mentioned, Parasitic Jaegers were plentiful and cooperative today - we 
had at least three adults and an immature.  Bonus was a dark Long-tailed that 
made a fairly close pass - unfortunately, only about a dozen of us were still 
on the beach at that point.  A distant gull sparked a lively debate, with some 
IDing it as a Sabine's, and others saying Black-legged Kittiwake.  I have to do 
some studying tonight to make up my mind.  Very few loons, no grebes, not many 
passerines, although a few of us hit a nice little pocket that had a 
Blue-headed and a Philly Vireo.

Yet another weather shift due tomorrow - hot & still yesterday, cool and windy 
from the east today, warm and windy from the south tomorrow.  Who knows what 
we'll see?
