Edge and all: I notched a Brown Booby several year ago in Nebraska, my 2nd Birding Home behind Iowa. It was making itself at home in the structure of a road/bridge over the dam where it was found. Unfortunately I have never see a variation of the Brown Booby in Iowa. Thanks for posting this cool information. Paul O.
