But the one we seem to be skating around is the Booby. Don Booby is a different species than a gooney bird but they are both flying sea birds.. Of course "Gooney Bird" is the nickname for DC3/C-47 but maybe the Grumman Albatross would be better named the "Booby" :-)) see-- http://www.richard-seaman.com/Wallpa...nAlbatross.jpg
