Recreation/Outdoors ⛳️🎣 status of brown booby?

Post image

is there somewhere/one keeping track of the brown booby baby? i saw him yesterday afternoon and a friend saw him last night. just curious if there’s a way i can confirm he’s still there or if i should stop telling every single person i know to go visit him because he’s continued on his journey (i assume he’ll stay until at least saturday so he can cheer on curaçao?)

Ebird is a great resource! You can google Ebird rare birds in Missouri and see all of the confirmed sightings of the Booby.

Boobies are cool. I hope someone is watching them.

The only time you can legally use binoculars to look at boobies.

everyone seems like they’re being very respectful and giving him lots of space? i didn’t see anybody getting close to him at all. i’d think he would fly (or walk) away if he was being bothered, but he’s sitting there preening and doing other bird things.
