    Brown Booby, from the darker head contrasting with the paler belly - Gannet is more uniform. I'd guess that Gannet would also be very rare that far south.

    I thought so but I was hoping. I just saw a mandaran duck in Lakeland FL, so you never know anymore where you will see a bird :)

    Thanks as always.
