Prized Boobies sighted in Big Lake
 

Three extremely rare Brown Booby Birds were sighted in the southern part of Turner's Bay sitting on a well head this past Friday. To my knowledge this would be the fifth, sixth and seventh birds ever sighted in Louisiana according to the data on ebird. You can see a picture of this bird by Googling Brown Booby.

troll?

-_-

pics taken last Thursday in the platforms S. of Turners.

cool
 

those are some pretty birds, that is awesome

Great find Saoirfaire! The three Boobies are still hanging around. Here is a picture I took this morning.

They must not know duck season opens next weekend. They better fly south!!

I thought you were talking about:

I thought you had a different username (tfinnie?) Can always count on you to get the good pics of the rare birds:)

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit I think....:puke:

Great find, thanks for posting:)

That is WRONG on so many levels! That is exactly what I was thinking and you came up with the picture. Hilarious!

Divers... Someone is gonna wind up fishing them while they're feeding and hook one.

Just wondering??? Who notices this while fishing??? I never knew they had birds out here

The same person that gives up where they were catching fish! Goin hit the platforms south of turners ASAP

Paaaahhahahahaha... Just north too. Seen them boobies there too


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

Definitely will cheer you up.... ::Ralph::

Definitely looks to be true


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

I like ice cream as much as the next guy but I dont want it dispensed that way. Maybe she shoulda had it in a blue waffle cone. Lm ao....

Ohhhhhh man! Double trouble!!


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

Some poor bird watcher will have this come up in his search for the rare brown booby.

And he'll buy a premium SC membership right then.lol

Saw a flock of these at Heberts, #1 #2 #3 and #4 saw in the state,

Suckers were eating our trout heads

Nice pics!

I love Boobies

Hahaaa ... thanks Matt!

It was nothing but pure luck. :):)

I bet there will be some birdwatchers looking to charter boats out to see these if they hang around, seriously:) These are pelagic birds and seeing one inshore in Louisiana is something uncommon for sure

Great shots tfinnie

Soo your saying they are legal to shoot and eat?

A few years back my family went to Florida, I wanted to see some brown boobies at the beach all I saw was tan boobies. I enjoyed it either way

:smokin: Just wanted to say that the title drew me in...

Negative:rotfl:

Not a duck or gamebird, protected under Migratory Bird Treaty Act just like a cardinal or blue jay or pelican etc. You would get fined and probably get the wrath of the birdwatching community:grinpimp:

Blue Jays are protected? Ooops... Why on earth would anyone want to protect them noisey things? I hate em. I have more respect for a crow. At least he will shut up and fly off when he sees you.

Pretty much most birds are protected if they are not a gamebird or 'nuisance' bird (blackbird, grackles, crows). Some introduced species like starlings, pigeons, house sparrows, and a few others aren't protected. Lots of protected birds have fallen victim to a bb or pellet gun on a bird feeder though:rotfl:

Forget what organization (Audubon?) but one of their goals is to keep common birds common. Passenger pigeons once numbered in the billions (with a b:eek:) and went extinct pretty quick but that was loss of habitat. Believe it or not in the 1950s the brown pelican was extirpated from Louisiana and almost went extinct. Hard to believe as common as they are now. Alligators have a similar success story

I think most of us honed our marksman skills at a young age with birds and a bb gun. Mom and grandma weren't always happy about it though.lol

I have ate lots of birds in my day that was taken by a pellet gun... we would cook em on a camp fire in our barn yard!!!

Name im sure we ate it!!


Killdee is not bad

Passenger pigeon went extinct due to over hunting. At least that's what they taught in my wildlife class, not due to habitat loss. Punt guns did some damage. Carolina parakeet went extinct due to harvest and habitat loss.

How many robins did we shoot as kids?... hahaha

I've never killed one and never eaten one...

But they are pretty darn tasty from what I hear

from loss of bottomland hardwoods and overhunting I believe, pretty amazing they went from a billion to zero in that little time




and yes many many robins still get killed south of I-10 in Louisiana:spineyes:

Humm never heard of a robin?? Thought it was a red breasted dove??

North of I-10 too... :)

Heck with all this bird talk. I want ot see more brown BOOBIES.

Brown boobies back on the lake Saw two today around Long Point:)
