Subject: [TN-Bird] Brown Booby in western Virginia
As improbable as it may sound, there is an adult BROWN BOOBY
at Claytor Lake State Park, VA -- just two hours north of the Tri-cities
(Tenn.).
This is an easy day-trip for anyone in East Tenn.
It put on a very nice show this morning. Evidently it has been there for
2 weeks, but has generated little buzz on the internet.
Directions:
Interstate 81, exit 101 for Claytor Lake State Park. (This is near
Radford.)
Enter the park, head for the marina.
The best viewing area is just to the left of the marina, at a gazebo behind
the
visitor center.
The booby is usually seen flying by, sometimes very close, as it patrols
the shoreline. It has been seen sitting on the water and, once, was seen
perched
in snags across the lake.
This morning at about 9:00 it made 2 close passes, once within 50 ft., and
made
two plunges for fish.
Much closer than the Dry Tortugas & back home for lunch.
