I scanned the lake from Lafayette Square (31st St. access) at Park Point today from 12:00 to 2:00 pm and saw two juvenile Pomarine Jaegers at close range, as well as a light morph Parasitic Jaeger. The Pomarines were flying together nearly in tandem, and at one point flew so close along the beach that I had to step away from my scope and use binoculars. They were identical in appearance and size, except that one was just a shade darker than the other. Earlier, one was was seen flying with a light morph Parasitic, and the difference in body shapes and manueverability between the two species were very obvious. A pair of Surf Scoters flew by, but no unusual gulls or terns were seen.
