Observation details
First observed the bird chasing a gull. It was close enough initially to see without binocs that the bird was long tailed. My initial thought was Jaeger however not having observed any in the field I consulted my field guides. When I was able to relocate the bird it was sitting on the water and picking insects from the waters surface. After a minute or two observing the bird through my binocs and consulting the field guide I was able to determine from it’s rather long tail feathers that it was a Long-tailed and not a Parasitic Jaeger.
