Refound all 3 jaegers today at 7:00 pm. Watched them for about 15 minutes
from the North Boat Launch area. When first found, two were in water
together with the third somewhat nearby and were later seen all flying
together for quite some time.

The eBird hotspot named "Kinney Run Trail" is indeed an important birding

I was surprised to see the Parasitic and Long-tailed Jaegers hanging out
together in such close
Is anyone familiar with birding on Kinney Run Trail and Open Space in Golden?
It is listed as an e-bird hotspot. Apparently the city of Golden wants to turn
it into a mountain biking park and trail. Some birders have contacted me to
help protest it on behalf of Evergreen Audubon. Please let us
Ann and I kayaked from the North Marina and well past the dam tower to find
all three jaegers. Ann got some nice photos from the kayak. All photos are
only cropped. No other edits.

I had to close nets a little early today because of high winds, so I caught
a few less birds than usual. I banded 37 birds of 8 species, including the
season's first Golden-crowned Kinglet, which is not a very common capture
at the station. I also had 2 recaptured birds, a Brown Thrasher and a
