Hi all,
The bird flew in and landed on the lighthouse just after 5:40 pm, presumably to
roost. The rain picked up just after that so I imagine it will spend the night
there. It landed right at the top of the lighthouse (on the metal just below
the peak) with two Cormorants.

It is great that some detailed photos of this bird have been obtained. It
appears to be an adult female which I think may makes identifying it to the
"subspecies" a bit challenging. This may be quite important as Brown Booby is
regarded as several sibling species by many seabird experts

At 1:50 pm the Brown Booby was seen from the Ontario side as it flew in from
Lake Erie and landed in the vicinity of Erie Basin Marina break wall. It is
