| 09-14-2007. Sturts -- Reject, specific identification not established Probably a Jaeger but Berry's description does not differentiate the Parasitic from Long-tailed Jaeger. The report is lacking in detail. According to Sibley, "Identification (of Jaegers) should be approched cautionsly and based on a combination of characteristics". Berry only includes a description of the tail. |
| 9/18/2007. Cliff Weisse -- Reject, specific identification not established The description does not include any details of plumage or structure. |
| 09-21-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Reject, specific identification not established First of all, the description was too brief for me to confidently establish a species identification. Also, the sighting seems suspiciously late for a jaeger in Idaho, since virtually all of our records have occurred in August and September. |
| 3 October 2007. Hardy -- Reject, specific identification not established Report is illegible. I was able to make out "forked tail streamers" under the description, but that is not sufficient. |
| 010-06-2007. chuck trost -- Reject, specific identification not established Not an adequate description of size or color patterns. I don't think of a "forked" tail for this species. |
| 11-04-2007. Carlisle -- Reject, specific identification not established May well have been correct but description insufficient (to be honest, I can't even read the first 2 words in the Description - maybe it says, "breast dark, tail with forked streamers"). Without other details of size, length of streamers, etc., this alone does not rule out other jaeger species... |
| 13 Nov 2007. Darren Clark -- Reject, specific identification not established The report has very little information regarding the description or behavior of the bird. |
