SOUTH POLAR SKUA - 8-30-05 Pickwick Lake --

This is about the only photograph that I got of this first TN and maybe only the second inland record in the US. Katrina brought in a load of great birds. As we all stood looking at this large dark bird approching and thinking Pomarine Jaeger, Jon Dunn asked "Why is this bird not a SKUA? Needless to say chills ran down everyone's spine....... You can see some great in-flight photos by Joe Guinn on my South Polar Page. http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/pomarineskua


other sizes: small medium original auto
