Pomarine Jaeger

11 years 9 months ago #240804 by bhowdy
My wife and I spent a week on the south Georgia (USA) coast ... which of course meant bird and some critter photo ops for me.

Every once in a while I find a rare bird that gets area birders excited. This find of a Pomarine Jaeger (Skua), on shore (it spends most of it's life at sea, except when nesting in the Arctic) and in Georgia during the summer was such a find.

Sometimes you just get lucky .... but you have to get out and explore to get lucky.
