Thanks. It most likely was a Red-footed but I will check my life list journal when I can and post a correction if it was other than a Red-footed.

If not, Masked Boobies used to be called Blue-faced Boobies, so there might be room for confusion there too. There aren't any official records for Blue-footed Booby in the Tortugas (or elsewhere in Florida). Red-footed Boobies on the other hand do get seen there irregularly and people would have gotten exited over seeing one, especially back in the 70s. -- Katrina Knight kknight@epix.net Reading, PA ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
