The Frigatebirds were the mascots of our little touring boat.
We were never sure if the cook threw out scraps for them or if they just liked the boat but they swarmed around us every day.
And they liked to get close....almost close enough to touch!

Males and female Frigates share parenting duties feeding the babies.
I think the little frigates are pretty adorable!
Who could possibly resist the Blue Footed Boobies?

God has created a magnificent world filled with so many amazing things!
