Seen at Edwin B. Forsythe NWR, NJ. I am leaning towards White-rumped and would appreciate any input about how to rule out Baird's. (Baird's has been reported here the past couple weeks).
I saw the Pacific that same day further in the inlet. What about Brown Booby? I know they shouldn't be around but that is what comes to mind when I look at the second picture.
Bird was seen off of the Manasquan Inlet jetty on 1/2/19. I ID'd it as a juvenile Northern Gannet (as it would be the only logical answer) but I keep questioning if it could be something more rare. Sorry for the really poor photos.
