William et al:
This was on the Carolinas birding list, giving me hope.

I located the bird again today (10/24) at noon. This was my third trip and
the second time I've seen the bird.
Weather was lower 40's, light mist with NE wind about 10 mph. Completely
subjective, but the booby didn't seem under any duress. I viewed it flying and
perched. It casually looked around, preened, stretched and seemed completely
at ease with the low temperatures. Since it doesn't seem to be going anywhere,
hopefully it will last the winter.
