I saw my first (and only!) one at the start of last year - pretty rare down here, definitely worth a chase ;) Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15217603442534914217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-49457506345318640172018-09-25T09:08:48.961-07:002018-09-25T09:08:48.961-07:00Of course it counts!

Crazy about the dead jaeger.

I've still never seen an inland jaeger. Horseshit. I did find an adult Parasitic the other day face down in a lagoon (next to a beach), it had just died!<br /><br />Buff-breasted is heckof chaseworthy. You must not be over chasing if you are chasing Black Phoebes though.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8715459874050137252.post-84811446617635051592018-09-23T07:36:39.641-07:002018-09-23T07:36:39.641-07:00Yeah, the goose was a little gross.
