Wednesday morning several of us seawatched at La Jolla, wondering if the slight change in the weather did anything, and it was almost dead calm and continuing of just quite low numbers of birds offshore. However, fairly early on, Mulholland spotted a black and white booby which we then studied for a while as it foraged to the southwest of us for a while before flying back to the southwest. It appeared to be a near adult Masked Booby with an entirely greeny- yellow bill and almost adult plumage except for still having a bunch of dusky in the head. On the rocks right in front of the bridge club building there are four Wandering Tattlers together and a few Surfbirds at low tide. This is near peak season for migrant tattlers.
