[Tweeters] Clark County BROWN BOOBY and AMERICAN TREE SPARROW

[Wilson Cady]

Jeff, Thanks for the correction, I remembered the Booby but not which species it was. It is pretty interesting that both species were seen in the same general area around the Port of Vancouver, I need to check where that ship came from just to make a guess on which route it traveled. That bird missed getting on several county checklists in both states as it rode the ship to get here.   Wilson Cady

Wilson - I think you are remembering the Masked Booby that was rescued, but died in the rehab center at Audubon.  It was found on the bridge between Hayden Island and the Oregon mainland.  The person who found it thought it was an eagle and OFWS thought it was a cormorant….

I believe this is a first county record.  It was certainly my first one and the first booby of any kind in Washington State for me.  Here's the incomplete ebird list with the link to the location. https://ebird.org/checklist/S121262945 Also, local birders Greg and Tina Johnson found an AMERICAN TREE SPARROW just beyond stop 11 at River S Ridgefield NWR, Clark County this morning.  This is I think a code 5 bird in Clark County. Keep your eyes and ears pointed everywhere .... you never know what you'll find!
