[Tweeters] Brown Booby, Puget Sound, Friday Sept 9th

[Raphael Fennimore]

Tweeters Nation,

Eric Hope and I spotted a BROWN BOOBY from Discovery Park this morning, Friday September 9th. Eric initially spotted an interesting ‘bird sp.’ before dawn, but in low light, and then I spotted the Booby far to our northwest a bit later. It went north for a bit, then just passed southbound around 9:15. Thanks to the instant timing of WhatsApp, a number of local birders (a few who were already in the park) were able to come and observe it with us, and local Puget Sound sea watchers were able to track it, and it was seen from Carkeek Park and from Kitsap as well!

I am still here at Disco and haven’t seen the bird come back north.

Wooooooooooohoooooooooooo - birds!
