I went out to the North Coast Rehab Center to get photographs of the
BROWN BOOBY reported earlier today. It was found by Tracy Fleming
about 5mi N of the community of Long Beach.

If I'm reading my Pyle correctly it would appear to be an adult female.
It was showing sequential molt of the wing with P07 and also tail molt.

Measurements:
ex culmen = 94mm
tarsus = 51mm
wing = 413mm
tail = 187mm

Tracy intends to take the corpse to interested folk at the Slater Museum.
