Pomarine Jaeger
December 19 th As our Birding Big Year winds down, we have been unlucky with our recent chases until today. A Pomarine Jaeger was first seen yesterday during the Toledo Christmas Bird Count near the Bayshore Power Plant which is only twenty minutes away from our house. We were busy yesterday and not able to chase the jaeger. This morning, Mike wanted to go see if it was still around. We arrived around 8:30am and ran into another birder who had been there since dawn and had not seen the bird. We did a pretty thorough search and could not find it either. Naturally, about half an hour after we left someone spotted the jaeger. I had a mah jongg game this afternoon, but Mike decided to go look again. While playing maj, I got an urgent call from Mike saying that he had relocated the bird. Luckily there were five of us so I could leave without breaking up the game. I drove a little fast and when I arrived, Mike still had the bird in his sights al
