[cobirds] Pomarine Jaeger - Chatfield State Park

[Peter Burke]

Cobirders,
The last week has been Homecoming at CU Boulder, one of my busiest times of
year, so when I read the news about the Chatfield Pomarine Jaeger, well,
let's just say I was happy for all of you who were able to see the bird.
Every day I expected to hear that it had left...

It's tough having to work, knowing a life bird is just a 30-minute drive
away. When I arrived at Chatfield State Park around noon today, there were
more boats than birds. Not a good sign. I did see a few birders, but none
had found the Jaeger. Yet patience paid off and I was able to locate the
bird from a shady vantage near the north boat ramp around 3:30 or so.

And speaking of boats, a huge thanks to Dave and Laurie who graciously
guided me in their very cool little speed boat. We got pretty good looks at
the bird !

Good birding,
Peter

[cobirds] Pomarine Jaeger Chatfield (Douglas Co)

['Dan Stringer' via Colorado Birds]

Thanks Ira and Tammy Sanders for yesterday's post, and Adam Vesley for today's 
update. Following suit so others know it's still active there. At about 1:30 
myself, John Drummond, and Jeannie Mitchell saw the Pomarine Jaeger at 
Chatfield Reservoir (Douglas Co) from the rocky point by the handicapped 
fisherman's pier and got good photos. It mostly sat on the water on the west / 
northwest side, but made several flights around the reservoir, passing by us 
once. It raised everything off of the sand spit and made a run at some ducks 
and grebes but I never saw it take food. 

John also spotted two young Sabine's Gulls near the spit which provided great 
views, size comparison to other gulls, and photos in bright light. We were 
fortunate in our brief visit to Chatfield.

[cobirds] Pomarine Jaeger - Chatfield State Park - Jefferson County

[Adam Vesely]

Mark Chavez and I observed the Jaeger in several spots this morning. Still 
present. Seems to like the area between the fishing pier by the marina and by 
the north boat ramp area.

[cobirds] Pomarine Jaeger Chatfield State Park Douglas County

[Steve Stachowiak]

Cobirders,
 
The Pomarine Jaeger previously report by Ben Walbek was seen this morning 
at 7:40 am.  The bird was viewed from the handicap fisherman's pier.  It 
was seen west to northwest at a long distance sitting on the water.  Also 
seen were two Common Loons and a Pacific Loon.  The majority of the birds 
were on the western half of the reservoir.
 
The handicap fisherman's pier is located next to the south marina at 
Chatfield and best accessed from the parking lot that is west of the marina 
slips.
 
Good birding,
Steve Stachowiak

There is a juvi plumage Pomarine Jaeger at Chatfield from the fisherman's Pier. 
 I am using a loaner scope but I can see the double flash in the under wing of 
a large jaeger
