A tropical bird believed to be the first of its type seen in Massachusetts has died after it was likely blown off course by Hurricane Jose. Wild Care Cape Cod, a wildlife rehabilitation facility in Eastham, said Monday that the masked booby died overnight. It was found last week at a Cape Cod beach. Then the bird will be taken to the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology to be exhibited. Massachusetts Audubon science coordinator Mark Faherty says a masked booby had never before been reported on the state's soil.
