If that's a brown boobie, I TOO have spotted boobies on my vacation! ![]() ![]() Now, I was on the island of St. Thomas, nowhere near Australia. Do boobies really travel that far, or are boobies found everywhere? I'm no boobie expert, obviously. I heard they travel in pairs, but apparently that isn't so. :) I couldn't type that without cracking a smile and giggling. |

Now that I compare, mine don't look like a brown boobie - it has different color feathers and beak. Is that another boobie type? (oh my) Maybe my capture was taken of an older, discolored one.

Thanks Dogears and Ausgezeichnet for the complements. The Tam 90 works great for these kind of shots. And I didn't disturb the birds, you gotta respect nature in this. So no cutting leaves to get the right picture, just take it as it is.
Greatings, Theo |

As per my bird book you might have got a juvenile bird. The one I photographed is supposed to be an adult female.
Brown Boobies live in Australia only north of tropic. Where is St. Thomas?
