Subject: [Tweeters] Red-footed Booby from Port Townsend this morning

The Red-footed Booby apparently spent last night in the rigging of the MV
Rachel Carson off Diamond Pt. This morning, after some running around, I
was fortunate enough to connect with it off Pt Wilson at Fort Warden. It
was last seen with a feedy frenzy of gulls and rhinos drifting nw with the
tide. Many are still at the point hoping it returns.

Other highlights this morning included a Short-eared Owl over the water and
a Calif Scrub-Jay near the lighthouse.
