Jaegermeisters--Updated

Scooted back to Ashurst Lake for another look at the Long-tailed Jaeger and, hopefully, the Sanderling I dipped on yesterday. I'm happy to report that both were on fine display. The Sanderling is, completely unexpectedly, my third lifer this month, and 26th of the year from the ABA region. Anyway, here's a portrait of our rare lovely for you all to enjoy, courtesy of Jeff Estis, using a lens that looked like it could have analyzed the bird at the sub-atomic level:

Update -- Here's the Sanderling. Mr. Estis takes a hell of a nice photo, doesn't he?

Superb beauty! And better than throwing up on a pelagic to see one at half a mile!

I haven't had the "pleasure" yet of going on a pelagic. At this rate, I figure if I wait long enough, all the birds will come to me here in Arizona!
