Northeast over the equator, Genovesa has the largest colony of red-footed boobies and many great frigatebirds. No goats, pigs or other destructive animals have been introduced so we saw "nature in the raw". This was a great morning - we were treated to bird life close up.
Bird life was on rocks - Solitary gulls
Male Frigate birds have a red air sac to attract a mate to their nest
Young red footed Boobie waiting for Mum to feed it
