Brown Booby in PA! ~ November 15, 2015

On Saturday afternoon, November 14th, Devich Farbotnik found an adult Brown Booby in the Tullytown area. I was unable to get down there and the bird was eventually seen flying towards the Delaware River late Saturday. It was looked for Sunday morning but wasn't seen. Surprisingly, the bird returned mid-afternoon. I left home and got to the spot as sunset approached. Happily for me, it was still sitting on a buoy out on the lake. Under decreasing light, I took several extremely poor photos of it solely for my records. This bird represents the 1st record for Pennsylvania! Congratulations on a great find, Devich!
