079 Diving Boobies 0441

Sunday, August 16th - Baltra to Lima. While we waited to disembark from the Xpedition for the last time, we were treated to a feeding frenzy by a flock of Blue-footed Boobies and a handful of pelicans. They had found a school of fish and were repeatedly diving into the melee. The splashes are from boobies that had just entered the water at high speed like the two in the upper-right and the beaks of two more on the upper right edge of this photo.
