Parasitic Jaeger


Spent some time under a tree next to Lake Sommerville yesterday. Had 500-600 White pelicans, a smattering of gulls (Franklin’s & Ring billed) and 5 species of shorebirds For the 2024 Shorebird class: Can you ID the shorebirds and tell me why? (Feel free to review Eric’s fine table)
I had a great time on the 29th communing with a visiting celebrity in Corpus Christi!! If you haven’t heard, this is a Kelp Gull born about 1 year ago in the southern hemisphere (South America most likely). Very impressive bill (compared to Herring in pic).
One of these things is not like the other…..Ok recent gulls class, what do you see here? From Hornsby earlier this week.
PLEASE DON’T GIVE AWAY THE ANSWER YET!! Just answer with a “yes”, if you can ID this gull we had on our Field Trip in Galveston over the weekend.

Am I prophetic?
