Prized Boobies sighted in Big Lake

[mcjaredsandwich]

Passenger pigeon went extinct due to over hunting. At least that's what they taught in my wildlife class, not due to habitat loss. Punt guns did some damage. Carolina parakeet went extinct due to harvest and habitat loss.

it may be hard for some to believe, but there are those of us who also notice other aspects of the natural world while we are fishing. My binocs are never more than arms reach away on my boat or in my blind.
Yes there are birds out here and some are quite cool to just watch.

Mr T you keep looking out for all those "birds". I'll keep my eye out for the boobies.
