Sulids at South Padre Island, 7/23/07

Honey and I spent yesterday morning fishing just north of beach access #6 on South Padre Island. We didn't catch much but these two or three Sulids were hanging around. Masked Booby has been reported earlier in the summer at SPI and that's what I origainlly thought these were. However quite a few sick Northern Gannets have shown up on the north Texas coast and I kind of think that's what these are. Your comments are welcome.

Hard to see it but this one had a white head and neck.

Listers, Come out of the closet!

I have a problem. I am a lister. There. I said it. I'm not ashamed of it. There's lots of birders out there who look down their noses at listers. But I bet they have lists too. They list in the privacy of their homes. Maybe behind the locked door of the bathroom. Come on listers. Come out of the closet (or the bathroom)! Oh I know what they say about listing. You go blind or hair grows on the palms of your hands. But it's not true. In fact listing is good for you. So make your lists and don't feel guilty about it.
