[Tweeters] Brown Booby off of Dune Peninsula, Tacoma

[Marcus Roening]

Hi Tweets,

Charlie Wright found an adult Brown Booby flying off of Dune Peninsula in Tacoma/Ruston. It appears to be an adult female based on all brown head with no white visible on the crown. 

It was seen at least 5 times flying across the end of Vashon Island and out to the vicinity of the Yellow Channel marker off of Brown’s Point Lighthouse from 11:00 am  - 12:30 pm. 

Gulls chased it a couple of times. Viewing was thru light ground fog/smog. 

Bonus bird was at least one Short-tailed Shearwater and a getting late, Osprey. 

Good birding,

Marcus Roening
