Observation details

Continuing, but without any brown boobies. Poor photos observed through scope near large parking lot from shore with another birder. Initially spotted booby with gulls flying/soaring loftily hand low and then circling a couple times before landing on water. Then repeated a couple times. Long, pointed wings/tail, and lighter coloration on breast/neck noted. 1st evening boat trip went out and later confirmed on same bird as we watched through scopes and noted no brown booby’s seen. About 30 minutes later, refound on buoy near SJRA pump station. Second evening boat trip zeroed in on same bird. From scope able to discern dark beak and long tail.
