For those not on Discord, Facebook, or the various other fractured reporting channels for rare bird sightings; please pardon the delay in my sharing this news on the listserv:
An apparent RED-FOOTED BOOBY, a pending New York State first record, flew over the roof of my Astoria, Queens apartment at 6:58 this morning. It circled vaguely northeast, disappearing out of sight behind a building. Birders in the Bronx, Connecticut, and along the north shore of Long Island should be on the lookout!
