Wonderful Picture!
Thanks Ava. I made those corrections. I appreicate your mentoring and viewing of my pictures.
I love this photo of this engaging booby. I'm not sure why it's in Nest, Hives, Bowers, etc though. Also, you have it mapped in the middle of the ocean. You can edit you spotting, click out on the map, and click and drag the map pin to wherever you did see this sweet bird.
