Sorry Guys, Boobie birds that is. Just wanted to share a bird sighting if there are any other birders here. I've seen loads of brown boobies in the sea of cortez. (Ya ya, I know. Brown boobies in Mexico). In just the last few years I have seen a few in the middle grounds at the Coronado islands. Today I saw 1 flying along the kelp line at the NW corner. First time I've seen one up here. Cool looking birds, a bit bigger than a seagull, with a very pointed head and bill. They hit the water at full speed with their wings totally pull back with barely a splash. Any way, they look like this.

Didn't catch any thing or see much. Mike
