Breaking: Peruvian Booby in Juan Hombrón

Canopy Tower's Carlos Bethancourt photographed a Peruvian Booby at Juan Hombrón beach (south of Antón, Coclé), today. The all-white head and dark back shown on the photos eliminate the commoner species of booby. Carlos also took some video of the bird, which he's promised to send in along with a written account of the record as soon as he gets back to civilization.

This would be the first record since the 1984 El Niño event, although Björn Anderson saw something that could have been one off Pedasí a month or so ago.
