Observation details
Not sure who spotted this bird first, just saw many people running towards the shore yelling "Booby!" The bird flew low over the water and briefly landed before picking back up and continuing to fly south. The bird remained approximately 70-100 yards offshore. This was a mostly white Sulid with mostly dark wings, dark tail, and some dark splotchiness giving it the appearance of a su-adult bird likely a 3rd year. Separated from similar Nazca booby based on bill color. Bill was greenish-yellow, fading to blue at the base.
