    Details

    Second year - petite jaeger with buoyant flight in direct comparison to 2 paja and a poja during morning flight / movement of birds going east - close enough for plumage study etc
    (edit - maybe it was a first year after all - based on the photos posted by others?)
    Oct 12 - def. a juv! The extreme contrast (and likely biased by location) had me pretty sure it was a ~1 year old bird... really neat plumage
