I visited Wisconsin Point (Superior, WI) this morning, and had the following sightings... Blue-winged Teal 2 Bald Eagle 1 Sanderling 5 Bonaparte's Gull 1 Ring-billed Gull 1000 Herring Gull 3 Parasitic Jaeger 2 The Parasitic Jaegers double-teamed a lone Ring-billed Gull, making impressive swoops and passes at the gull! One of the Parasitic Jaegers is an adult (light), the other one is a juvenile... most likely the same birds as seen before. Below are pictures from this morning.

We had a total of 13,276 raptors for the day, of which 12,790 were Broad-winged Hawks! Below are some shots over the past few days up at the ridge. Enjoy!
