Ted Hilary had an adult Parasitic Jaeger today at Salmon Arm Bay. The bird flew in front of the Nature Park toward the mouth of the river before landing on the mudflats.

Why are they named "parasitic"? I am going to look into that. Google and perhaps more.

Because they harrass and steal fish usually from smaller gulls and terns and make them even throw up the fish, so they can eat.
