I hesitated in sending this as it seems so incredulous (and out of =
season as well!) but I think I saw a Jaeger sp. this morning along the =
Jordan River Parkway north of 106th South.  I was about 200 feet north =
of the 2nd set of wood rails that mark the trail.  If you get to the 2.5 =
mile marker, you've gone too far.
It was at 8:45 AM and I was walking north along the trail.  I saw a bird =
with a large wingspan circling above the river.  After a couple of "What =
in the heck is that???", I decided to get studying it.  It was dark on =
the back side, had a gull like head, light undersides, and a "bridle" of =
white under the chin.  The wingspan was about the same size as that of =
some geese that flew by shortly afterwards.  I did not notice any long =
central tail feathers.
It circled above the river 3 or 4 times, then dropped down to the river, =
when I lost sight of it due to the brush along the Jordan River.  When =
it came back into view, it headed northeast in a broad circle, and I =
finally lost it as it went to the north of the large building visible =
from the trail.
Keep your eyes open for this bird as I sure would appreciate a 2nd =
opinion!!!
Good Birding on Good Friday!!!
