If the Booby is captured, I suggest trying Toronto Wildlife Centre as a rehabilitation option <http://www.torontowildlifecentre.com>. No one will be equipped to handle a Booby, but they may be the best option locally.
If someone does pick the bird up, please consider sending me a feather or two at the address below (including the feather quick). I should be able to obtain DNA from this and attempt to answer the question of what subspecies the bird is. If the bird perishes, the specimen should be sent to the ROM.
