Luckily, the Pomarines seem to get close to the beach at this time of year. Their heavy-bodied look is apparent and they seem to fly with a purpose. A very experienced birder clued me in to the Pomarines' flight style - they tend to fly low to the water and in a straight line. They, more than Parasitic Jaegers, will form small flocks. These tips from Mark Berney have helped me when I scope from the balcony.
