Red-billed Tropicbird


GeoTagged, [N32.71550, E117.17306]

We saw one of these beauties just after breakfast this morning. I went and got my camera and of course it was gone. Luckily I kept the camera with me while I was walking laps on the top deck. A pair returned and seemed to enjoy riding the wind currents made by the ship. Carrie saw this bird in the Galapagos but In spite of chasing a reported sighting at the Fort in Puerto Rico 2 summers ago, I had never seen one. It will be interesting to see if more show up as we continue south!

  1. Bwahahahaha! Beth slapped you with some reality didn't she!? But seriously, I assume we would have heard by now if all the family in Nashville weren't okay?
    It all looks beautiful. My mom says the Panama canal is pretty awesome. I can't wait for your pictures.
    Must be nice to sail the ocean blue. I'm going to go do a necropsy on a dead goat now...boo.
    P.S. I saw a Grizzly bear. A real one. And they aren't supposed to be in California. We got pictures from 5 feet away. I tried to feed DJ to him to get a really spectacular shot but he wasn't interested. Sigh. Telephoto lens gone to waste.
