Fewer birds than yesterday, but a pair of parasitic jaegers made the
morning.  The jaegers flew in from the east together and harassed a small
group of ring-billed gulls before continuing west.  The acrobatics performed
by the two was amazing.  It seems like they harassed the gulls just for the
fun of it.
