A biologist along the coast of the Outer Banks in North Carolina snapped a shot of a peculiar visitor hovering over the water.
It was a large black and white seabird with a black face and yellow bill. It’s usually not seen at Cape Hatteras National Seashore, where it was spotted, officials said in a Facebook post.
But the bird’s name may be even more unusual than its unexpected appearance: the masked booby.
