Mountain Chickadee
This dark-morph juvenile jaeger showed up at nearby Sprague Lake in eastern Washington. It appears to be gone now, and was here for at least 3 days. We went out and saw it yesterday morning. It was quite far away, and I didn't do too well with attempted digiscoping!
Some have called it a Parasitic, and others have called it Long-tailed. We went out hoping for a Long-tailed (which would be a lifer), but came back with the feeling that it was a Parasitic. But it is so tough!!! :bounce:
Can anyone shed their opinions on this bird?

Help!!! :king:
