Observation details
Somewhat distant dark Jaeger flew by east to west, chasing gulls and landing briefly a few times. Long, sharp, thin based wings, notable white flash visible on top and bottom side of primary bases with almost no central tail feather projection. Very agile and direct flight, terrorizing many gulls on the rough lake. Blake first spotted it, then he, Keith, and I each studied it in Keith’s scope because of how long it was in view. First of (hopefully more) year for the park as far as I know.
