It figures. Immediately after I sent out the note below, I received word that the BROWN BOOBY was seen early this morning. Here is their post to Cayugabirds NY. "Seen at 7:35 this morning. Spotted by Andrea Mott. Seen by Janet Akin and Mark Miller. Heavy winds but it has stopped raining." Presumably they saw it from Erie Basin Marina in Buffalo though I don't know that for sure.
Good birding!

That was around 1:00 and he noted that there was also a family from North Carolina looking for the bird. He did not see the Booby and the family had not seen it to that point. He noted that it was very windy on the tower, which may have discouraged some people from looking due to excessive scope shake. The bird could still be around as it often does not come to roost on Donnelly's pier or the Reef Lighthouse until mid to late afternoon. There may have been some birders looking on the Canadian side as well. Good birding!
