I had up to 5 Parasitic Jaegers at Hammonasset today, during Low Tide rising, around 1230 to 300 pm. At Meigs Point, I observed 3 and others had several prior. I'd obtained photos of a light non breeding adult as others had moved on to searching for a distant Shearwater, sp. Later from the nearby pavilion, Matt Male called out one flying East towards Meigs Point. I immediately obtained a photo of two dark Parasitic Jaegers flying together.
I'm speculating, but once observations are compiled the total count for today may have been 10 or so.
