Brown Booby in Windham!
On June 10 a BROWN BOOBY was discovered at Cobbett’s Pond in Windham by a local resident. Amanda and I were on a short vacation with friends in Tennessee and it would be another couple of days until we were back in the state.
Catching wind of this bird while out of the state was a little heart-wrenching, especially because it was in WINDHAM — part of our local patch! Thankfully the bird decided to stay put for several days and gave us the rare opportunity to photograph it up close and personal.
This is the FIRST STATE RECORD of a Brown Booby in New Hampshire and one of the unlikeliest of places — at in inland pond in Windham!
A special thanks needs to go out to the homeowner John for being such an accommodating host to many of us crazy birders, and for getting the word out in such a timely fashion.
