Good evening friends, another shot for my bird lovers out there, this is the Brown Booby in flight!  Look how cool his tail feather are??  I think I told you all weeks ago that we have two of these on the premise and I kid you not when I say you can walk right up to them and feed them.  In fact moments before I took this photo he and I both were standing on the same three foot wide bridge.  I had to walk by him to get to the other side and he never moved, he just looked up at me and squawked!  The dolphin trainers hate these two because of their persistence to steal fish from the dolphins, they are relentless and can really be a pain.  For me I look at it as a photo opportunity every time because they fly in circles above us making it very easy to capture them in flight.  Aimee and I did spot a new bird the other day that looked like a booby as well but we never got a good enough look or a picture have been looking for him ever since. 
 
Today I did three snorkels with the dolphins, just me and the camera!  I have quit using tanks as they don’t seem to like them so it’s back to holding my breath and diving down, do that for three hours and man does it make you tired!  I got to watch our big male Copan mate with Teresa today and from my view it was very successful, I think we can guarantee a baby 12 month’s from now!  Aimee just made a great dinner, Inca and Indi are chewing on bones and I am almost falling asleep, talk to you tomorrow!  Curacao regards, Barry
