Brown Boobies |
Nikkor 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6, Raw capture |

of the four species of boobies occupy the Bay of Banderas for
at least part of the year. Blue-foots (Sula sula) reside
here year-around, while masked (S. dactylatra) and
brown (S. leucogaster) boobies frequent the bay less
often. While I was there, the brown boobies were the most numerous,
but there were plenty of blue-foots as well. I saw only two
masked boobies while I was there this trip. These two browns
were among many shadowing our fishing boat, hoping to share
in the catch. |
