[Tweeters] Red-footed Booby now on the PT waterfront

Yesterday the red footed booby disappeared from its usual haunt at the Fort Warden Marine science pier. It was refound yesterday evening along the downtown Port Townsend waterfront. 

This morning it is on the high rigging of the double-masted Hawaiian Chieftain, at dock at Pope Marine Park. I’m told they will be going out for a couple hours at 10 AM and then be coming back here. Presumably the bird will forage and then perch somewhere nearby for its usual long preening sessions.

There is a big concert at this location this evening.
