sbruenjes Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 I have a few more pictures of the first bird...is here any chance its a boobie instead of a gannett? It seems to have a lot of black in the wing.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L. Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I think the first bird is a booby in molt. That said, I have no experience with either species, so I wouldn't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinHood Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I've been trying to puzzle out the dark head and white neck of the first bird, more for the poster than myself - is it a 2nd year Northern Gannet (the wing pattern seems to fit)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
