A juvenile Brown booby, near the ferry at Port Aransus, on February 27th. This tropical bird had been seen in Texas less than two dozen times previously, and its presence drew dozens of birders; its normal range is the Caribbean, as well as the Gulf of Baja California. Thanks Rick (for the brief boat ride to take this shot).
