Robin:
It appears to be a juvenile Masked Booby (Sula dactylatra) which was previously
called Blue-faced Booby. This bird breeds on Dry Tortugas, Florida and are
considered rare in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Some folks refer to it as
a tropical Gannet.

Could someone help identify the bird in the attached photo?� I reduced the
image size of the original so hopefully it will be OK for folks with dial-up.

Just wondered if you might identify this bird I saw on the beach at Nags
Head last weekend. There were 2 within a mile of each other, and they
didn't/couldn't fly. Body was the size of a Canada goose with short legs, but
the head looks more like a heron.
