Morning Flight - 22 September 2012
It was hard to believe, but things slowed down to a virtual standstill today. The only reason that things stayed lively at Morning Flight was thanks to a riotous group of birders that apparently failed to notice the lack of birds.

The highlight of the day was a trio of jaegers that passed in quick southbound succession along the Delaware Bay. The lead bird appeared to be an adult Parasitic Jaeger; although the other two (another light adult and one intermediate/dark bird) were probably Parasitic Jaegers, insufficient views were had to satisfactorily identify them to species.
