I saw two of these birds perched on the electrical wires along the road by my house this morning. I've never seen this bird before and have searched through my Florida bird book to no avail. The only photo in my book that it kinda sorta looks like to me is the Brown Booby. The description says it's dark brown above with contrasting white underbelly and white wing linings. I couldn't get a close enough shot to notice any white underbelly but I think I see a bit of white peeking from the closed wings. It also says the Brown Booby's habit is over open water but they are occasionally seen along Florida's east coast (which is my location) although I'm a mile inland from the ocean.
Sorry about the bad quality of this picture, it was very cloudy and this was the best I could get with my camera. I'm going to watch for them again tomorrow morning in hopes for a better shot but it's doubtful as we are supposed to have rain throughout the night and morning hours.
