A RARE SIGHT

Brown Booby (Immature)

Swan Lake

Furman University

Greenville, South Carolina

The Brown Booty

is a large, tropical seabird

that is rarely seen near the land

 of the United States, with the exception

of the coastal areas

of southern Florida and southern California.

Nature is unpredictable, however, 

and one of these magnificent birds

has strayed out of its natural habitat and

taken refuge, at least temporarily, on a beautiful

lake at one of our South Carolina universities.
