major Cocos Booby show off Imperial Beach

For several days now there have been a number of Cocos boobies seen from shore off imperial Beach in the morning. This morning, Thursday, I arrived at 6:30 a.m. First booby passed by heading north at 6:50 a.m. And by 7:35 a.m. I am now up to 46 birds and they’re still going by. I will stay as long as the birds continue. All heading north, undoubtedly all coming off the Los Coronados roost. Singles and small foocks, the largest single group being six. A fair number of the birds are extremely close to shore, although plenty your well out as usual. No birds have been seen recently as of this morning from La Jolla, so whether these birds are mostly off Point Loma or even some of them inside there, off Coronado, has yet to be determined.
