[obol] A MASKED BOOBY record for Oregon.

[Jeff Gilligan]

The specimen from Multnomah County that had earlier been identified as a
Blue-footed Booby, has been re-identified as a Masked Booby.  This is the
first that I have seen of the photo. This is a first state record.   Jeff
Gilligan.

Hello, tweeters.

It has taken us some time to get our website together, especially after we
took a closer look at the booby that was found on the Oregon side of the I-5
bridge across the Columbia River, taken to rehabilitation where it died, and
brought to the Slater Museum and prepared.

If you're interested in a little story about this bird, with photos, I
advise a visit to the Slater Museum website at http://www.ups.edu/x13725.xml
and click on "A Tale of Two Boobies."

Harry Nehls, could you please forward this to OBOL? Thanks.

Dennis
