more info and pics of jaeger

["Tim Avery" <tanager at timaverybirding dot com>]

This afternoon at 2:30 I returned to the area where "our" Jaeger had 
been, I unfortunately found the bird dead in the ruts in the mud about 
1/4 mile past the second tape marking.  I immediately put the bird on 
ice and returned to Salt Lake to photograph and document the bird. If 
you would like to take a look please feel free, and let me know what you 
think.  I will be donating the bird to the University of Utah, and will 
deliver it tomorrow.

(Warning this is a dead bird, so if your not interested, disregard now!)
