[cobirds] Jaeger at Standley Lake - Jeffco

Cobirders,
Just spotted a jaeger flying hard from east to west low over the water before rising to harass a full over the point of the island (currently a peninsula). I am on the south shore. It kept flying west away from the lake then turned and harassed another gull before I lost it.

I don't have a ton of experience IDing jaegers but it definitely had light primary patches, a dark cap and light on the nape and cheek. Nothing remarkable about the tail and the body didn't appear overly chunky or barrel-chested. Hopefully someone with a camera can get out here and refind this beastie. For now it's a Jaeger app. for me. Good luck!
