Amy and TexBirders,

Today in conversation with James Swan who first saw the bird some weeks ago, he 
indicated that the bird was “grayer” underneath and has since got a much 
brighter belly.  Although “gray” is not the color of an immature Brown Booby, I 
took his remark to mean that it may have only recently molted into full adult 
plumage, which suggests it would be unlikely to be the Canyon Lake bird.
