Observation details
Bird seen chasing two gulls off shore around 8:15am. This bird's flight was erratic swooping and diving. This bird clearly appeared darker than other juvenile gulls. White markings on wings, head shape and pointed tail seem consistent with a young jaeger. My guess is juvenile of this species. 3 other birders also got brief glimpses of the bird later in the morning, after a huge flock of gulls lifted off the beach seemingly frightened by the jaeger's presence.
