Parasitic Jaeger in Ottawa County 9/3/07

[Dave Slager]

I also had a/the Parasitic Jaeger (intermediate juvenile) today in
Ottawa county, at the north jetty of the Pigeon River mouth, Port
Sheldon.  I had the bird from 10:00-10:10am.  I am also aware that
Carl Manning, Liz Notman, et al. at the Holland pier had the bird fly
by around 30 minutes after I did.  I first spotted the bird chasing a
gull, and then it sat on the water for a few minutes before continuing
south.
Remarkably, these sightings and times and similar behaviors observed
are consistent with a single individual moving past Grand Haven, Port
Sheldon, Holland, and Douglas in the same day!

Good birding!
