A Long-tailed Jaeger showed up at Horseshoe Lake in Illinois. This is a fairly rare bird for the interier US. Lois and I went over there last Friday 7/17 but only saw the bird at a distance. I returned Sunday 7/19 and was able to see it much closer. This is my 313th bird species photographed in the St. Louis 50 mile Circle.
