Pictures from Isla Isabella

Here are some pictures from Isla Isabella, the nesting grounds for blue and brown footed boobies and magnificent frigatebirds.

To totally appreciate these pictures imagine the birds are everywhere; squawking, high pitched whistling, chattering, clicking beaks, and chasing tourists who are anywhere near the chicks.  (Note, that is everywhere.)  Oh, and the smell is RIPE!
