We had another great pelagic trip. The Red-billed Tropicbird was the highlight. It flew over the boat several times, giving everybody great veiws. I was able to get a few decent photos https://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/15460270157/ There was a Bridled Tern perched on something floating in the water. This was my best view of this species ever and the first time I have been able to get photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/15460514827/ We also had both Masked and Brown Boobies. This Brown Booby flew just a few feet from us and was vocalizing. Mary was feeding it so it stayed with us a long time. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/15622815716/ I think there were about 3 Masked Boobies. This one circled over the boat several times giving everybody great views. https://www.flickr.com/photos/gregpage/15459867589/ I want to thank all the leaders, it was a great trip. Next years trips should also be great.
