p.1 #1 · Birds of Mexico (10)

I'm spring cleaning, so here's a few shots from my hard drive. They're from a trip to Zihuatanejo, Mexico last April. I used the 300 f2.8 and mark III with both extenders. The brown booby shots may have been posted before.

Hi, Herb.

Very nice series. I especially enjoyed the variety.

Favorites are #2, #3, and #4.

I looked at #4, and save the colorations, I swore it was a gannet. I then visited this website:

http://science.jrank.org/pages/989/Boobies-Gannets.html

I learned that they are indeed related. They are two of nine members of the Sulidae family. Many of their characteristics are very similar.

Thanks for posting these.

Cheers,
Ed

Interesting set Herb! I like the immature heron the best, what a cute shot! I had to laugh reading Ed's comment, the first thing I thought when I saw 4 was "that looks similar to a gannet".

Nice to see different birds well photographed.

Thanks Tim, I never noticed the similarity to the gannet, even though I've encountered them numerous times fishing offshore.
