Media notes
A Parasitic Jaeger off the beach toward the east end of Kiawah Island (Charleston County, SC) on 11 March 2022.
Observation details
Seen from the beach. The jaeger was flying low over the water heading east - dark on top, light underneath, with a band across chest. Long, pointed wings (the white flash at the wrist was not easy to see). Did one acrobatic turn. Identified as a Parasitic by its slim look, but positive id was difficult at this distance. I got a few distant photos, heavily cropped.
