Brown Booby photos from Assateague 08/05/2009
The four images below were taken by Nat Donkin of the National Park Service on 05 August 2009. His originals are posted, as well as enlarged enhancements of the bird where I cropped and resized the image and adjusted the lighting histogram. Thanks to Tami Pearl of the NPS. Phil Davis
Here's Nat's statement: A juvenile Brown Booby was found on the North end of Assateague Island 4 km from the Ocean City inlet on 8/5/09 at 8am. It was standing 8m from the waterline. The bird seemed to be in good health but the lower bill was cracked.
