Sugar Land Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I know the pictures are awful, but could this be a Brown booby? Taken this morning near Houston. Please take into consideration that tropical Storm Nicholas was expected to hit that area few hours after the shot were taken. Brown booby has been spotted there when hurricanes hit the upper texas gulf coast. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Looks like a sandpiper (yellowlegs?) to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I agree--sandpiper with yellow feet, which are visible in the second photo. The bill is also too slight for booby, and I don't think the structure is bulky enough for booby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I agree with Yellowlegs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peromyscus Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Definitely not a booby, and yellowlegs sounds reasonable 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
