I believe that it was subsequently determined to be a Masked booby.

It is pretty interesting that both species were seen in the same general area around the Port of Vancouver, I need to check where that ship came from just to make a guess on which route it traveled. That bird missed getting on several county checklists in both states as it rode the ship to get here.

>> Wilson - I think you are remembering the Masked Booby that was rescued, but died in the rehab center at Audubon. It was found on the bridge between Hayden Island and the Oregon mainland. The person who found it thought it was an eagle and OFWS thought it was a cormorant….

>> Hi Tweeters,

>> There is currently a BROWN BOOBY perched on the anchor chain of the ship "Adelante" visible from Blue Rock Landing which is a half mile west of Vancouver Lake in the Vancouver Lowlands, Clark County. I believe this is a first county record. It was certainly my first one and the first booby of any kind in Washington State for me. Here's the incomplete ebird list with the link to the location.

>> Also, local birders Greg and Tina Johnson found an AMERICAN TREE SPARROW just beyond stop 11 at River S Ridgefield NWR, Clark County this morning. This is I think a code 5 bird in Clark County.
