[cobirds] Pomarine Jaeger - Chatfield State Park

Cobirders,
The last week has been Homecoming at CU Boulder, one of my busiest times of year, so when I read the news about the Chatfield Pomarine Jaeger, well, let's just say I was happy for all of you who were able to see the bird. Every day I expected to hear that it had left...

It's tough having to work, knowing a life bird is just a 30-minute drive away. When I arrived at Chatfield State Park around noon today, there were more boats than birds. Not a good sign. I did see a few birders, but none had found the Jaeger. Yet patience paid off and I was able to locate the bird from a shady vantage near the north boat ramp around 3:30 or so.

And speaking of boats, a huge thanks to Dave and Laurie who graciously guided me in their very cool little speed boat. We got pretty good looks at the bird!

Good birding,
Peter
