At 2:15, while birding the bayside flats, a sub-adult BROWN BOOBY flew low,
directly across from and over mine and Arie Gilbert's head.
The bird exhibited solid brown above. There was slight, but not solid contrast
where the birds belly met its breast.
Arie managed to snap a few quick photos to further firm the I.D. I will get
them up on my Flickr site later this evening and share with the list.
Stay alert for this bird. Scan the tops of buoys in and around the inlets as
well as on Moriches and Shinnecock Bay.
Best,
