Masked Booby Sula dactylatra, Dry Tortugas, Florida, May 16th 2005. ABA Code (3).


One of three species of Sulidae seen on our first and only trip to the Dry Tortugas. The evening before these images were taken we counted about 65 Masked Boobies coming into roost on Hospital Key, along with 17 Brown Boobies roosting on a floating marker between Garden Key and Hospital Key. This first rate trip was greatly enhanced by camping overnight on Garden Key.

The images were taken using a Canon Powershot A-95 through Leica 10x42 binoculars.
