I saw several of these in Iceland. They do show up in southern Alaska but rarely on the mainland. There is a kleptoparasitic skua dark morph which is quite similar to this Jaeger but I am not able to tell the difference.

He’s giving you a nice pose and you captured very nice detail in good light. The slightly ruffled feathers give a nice look.
Nice detail and I like the pose and background, David.
Good one. Nice pose against a pleasing background. My brother-in-law, took a photo of a Parasitic Jaeger just off shore at Hansville (somewhere in your neck of the woods.)
