PS: There's a lot of water out there and the chances of success, even with a
fast boat, seemed not worth the time and effort. It's birding triage.

Subject: [Tweeters] A tale of two boobies


Tweeters,

A big thank you to Dennis Paulson for seeing to it that the Masked Booby was
taken care of, correctly identified, and we were linked up to an excellent
article on the work.

In the article was something that reminded me of a question I had for the
Tweeters community.

"A Blue-footed Booby was observed and photographed in Skagit County,
Washington, on 6 August 2006 by Ryan Merrill. It was not seen again,
notwithstanding a flurry of birder activity searching for it."

Why was there so litttle interest in Booby follow up?

Leora and I put two full days on it and never saw another birder. We posted
on both of them. The second was on a Friday to help tweeters decide how to
spend their week end. I can only remember two other posts.

Am I wrong here? How many of you went looking for Ryan's Booby?
