Whiskeyjack
The Grey Jay that hung around the coffee stop on the mountain was very unafraid as is the case with the ones I’ve encountered.
Getting close to make photos was easy.

Mothering
Yesterday’s Blue Footed Booby turned out to be a mother. When she landed in the middle of our trail, her chick came waddling out of the scrub and we watched for some time as the chick coaxed her to feed it.
After a great deal of begging, the chick stayed hungry. Mom was not cooperating.

Eh?
This is the definition of “curious” when you look in the dictionary.
The bird is a Nazca Booby on Española Island, Galapagos.
It was working with its’ partner making a nest in the middle of the trail. We detoured slowly, not disturbing them.
The white material is called locally “Galapagos snow”.

Frigate Bird
This was my first encounter with a Frigate Bird resting on a branch above the beach.
They soar in the wind when they are not taking time out.

It’s a cold wet rainy May day on the waterfront.
Nobody’s around and I’m hungry.
Feed me!

Blue Heron
I visited Eau Claire Gorge yesterday and paused on the bridge which crosses the Amable du Fond River.
The heron was not disturbed by my presence or by the occasional car crossing.
It was just enjoying the fall colours, I guess.
