Observation details
Continuing rarity-the Brown Booby is an adult bird. Although I first spotted the Brown Booby perched near the edge of the rooftop of an apartment near the pond at 8:20 am, the booby reportedly took an earlier flight. The booby remained on its perch until about 10:10 am, when it took flight and landed on the far end of the pond. It dove under the water for a short period of time and then again took flight, landing about midway down the length of the pond on the opposite side from most of the observers. The booby remained on the pond near that location until we left around 10:55 am. The booby appeared undisturbed by the close proximity to several of the birders on the opposite side of the pond.
