Flyby N while doing Vismig
Photos not great but here our notes from eBird checklist - Very large, heavy bodied jaeger with hunch necked, broad bodied GISS, easily dismissed as a dark northern type 1b HERG. Dark juvenile, nearly uniform gray brown overall (appearing very saturated in the field), dark nape, some upper and undertail barring, blunt central rectrices. No upperwing flash, hint of double flash below (of dubious value). Cruised in with languid beats and a bit of lazy side shearing. Our fof.

After a tip from James H who saw one day flying, I checked out the river and staked out a spot where 3 were seen simultaneously after 9:15PM.
