July 21st 2007. Southern Nantucket Shoals, MA.
Long-tailed Jaeger. Stercorarius longicuades. 1 First-summer.

Images taken using Canon Powershot A540 through Leica 8 x 42 binoculars.

Interesting looking bird but shows near uniform brown upperwing with long white shafts restricted to the two outer most primaries.
Regular broad barring rather obvious across rump and undertail coverts.
