The Booby Prize: watching a visiting warm-water seabird

Update: 2025-11-05

Description

Brown Boobies look a lot like young gannets, which are various shades of brown, but unlike gannets, they will sit on rocks close to shore for long periods – gannets essentially never come ashore around here unless they’re sick.
