Hi Eric,
I met you when my husband Martin, dog Pattie and I went to Hawk Ridge Monday after your Birding Festival. When I wrote about it to the Wisbirdn I mis-identified you as Kevin - sorry.
Good to hear about your Jaegers at the Point - we were not so lucky, but then we were very inexperienced with those birds but somehow I doubt they would be siting on a dock wall with the gulls - or would they?

Hi Erik, my wife (Carol Anderson) and myself (Tony Kalenic) met you on three consecutive days (Sun through Tues) earlier this week on Hawk Ridge. Your Jaeger photos are very nice. I've been thinking about the Jaeger which my wife and I saw this past Tues morning at Wisconsin Pt. It was definitely an adult Parasitic or Pomarine. I made a deliberate effort to look at the central tail feathers and they were blunt and about 2" long. I'm convinced it was a Pomarine. Good birding! Tony
