Observation details

Spotted by Beau and seen briefly resting on the beach. This jaeger has a small head with a slender bill ruling out pomarine however the bill size appears to be in range for either long-tailed or parasitic. The long central tail feathers make this an adult bird. The underwing patterning appears in line with parasitic. The outer most wing feather has patterning similar to parasitic as well.
