A Magnificent Frigatebird was reported to me by Kevin O'Keefe aboard a
fishing boat approximately 3 miles offshore and just south and east of
Gerrish Island in Kittery, Maine. The exact location is not clear, but
it appears that it was just north of the NH/ME state line. THE REPORT
IS FROM OCTOBER 1st or 3rd. The bird was described as an adult male
type bird, being huge, all black, forked tail, and reddish throat
patch. It was following a boat returning to port and flew in and
captured fish scraps thrown to it. It seems hard to believe that this
unmistakable bird wasn't a frigatebird.
In addition, a Yellow-nosed Albatross was reported from Cape Cod yesterday!!
Bizarre! Keep your eyes open!
