Hey, I had 3 Parasitic Jaeger (one sub-adult, 2 dark juvs) off Port Franks Beach this morning, travelling as a group and putting a pretty good beat-down on some of the local Ring-bills. When I left at noon there was still two birds, well out, sitting on the water.
This area has perplexed me so far, as all of my good days have been in calm conditions with south or SE winds - certainly not the conditions that tend to be favourable elsewhere along Huron for offshore pelagic-types. The only requirement seems to be feeding flocks of gulls and terns relatively close to shore and that seems to vary almost hour to hour. Directions - From Hwy 21, take Outer Drive to Dolway to Raeburn to the parking lot. Cheers, James H.
