Saturday another perfect day
Early morning to see an elusive rat, not seen. Great sighting of a blue Booby up close. Many sea lions playing, approaching and waiting for the return of their mother. Fausto called them, gif behind a bush, and many came seeking the sound.
Santa fee land iguana, feeding, Thermoregulation responses.. Watching it a small cactus leaf in one piece, another scraping the spines of prior to chomping.
Different cacti tree for the iguana feeding. Talk yes with the spiny bits up near the top, tough bark. Adaptation at its best, maybe even better example than the finches.
Snorkeling adventure. C+according to Irby but quite a bit higher for me. Many fish, of course, in warm warm water. Great care needs to be taken with the equatorial sun.
QB now an expert on frigate birds. Perched on the winch, males, with their tomato patches and females were on display for an extended period.
Land walk in the plazas, north and south. On the map these appear as two horizontal stripes with a narrow channel between them, just of the Santa Cruz mainland. Sea birds and a different landscape.
Red billed to Tropic bird and it frigate predators.
Swallow tailed gull; watched courtship and mating.
