| 09-13-2007. Sturts -- Accept This is a very detailed report. Diagnostic field marks were noted and the similar Parasitic Jaeger was elminated by size, bulk of body, and shape of tail. |
| 09-16-2007. Dave Trochlell -- Accept This decription makes a good case for POJA, and does a fine job of differentiating this species from either PAJA or LTJA. |
| 9/18/2007. Cliff Weisse -- Accept Description includes sufficient field marks to confirm the ID of Pomarine Jaeger, especially size, bill color, shape, and extent of black cap. |
| 4 October 2007. Hardy -- Accept I hesitated to accept this record because the reporter was uncertain of several diagnostic fieldmarks, namely the dark/light of the bill, and the spoon-shaped tail streamers. But I was convinced by the overall size and bulk of the bird - described as one-quarter larger than a RBGU - and by the comparison offered by viewing a Parasitic Jaeger only minutes before. (It would have been nice to see a description of the PAJA, too.) |
| 010-06-2007. chuck trost -- Accept Careful description of a large gull-like bird. Tail shape is diagnostic. |
| 11-04-2007. Carlisle -- Accept My main concern is the distance at which this bird was observed. However, the adult tail tips should separate from other jaegers. |
| 13 Nov 2007. Darren Clark -- Accept This was a well-written record. It was especially helpful that the observer had Ring-billed Gulls for a size comparison as well as a Parasitic Jaeger to compare. |
