I like boobies

We went to Isla Contadora in the Pearl Islands last week, hoping to see some humpback whales and dolphins. We unfortunately got rained-out, but on the way back we saw these 12 boobies resting on a floating log. We thought they were all the more common yellow-footed boobies, but on closer examination, one of them was a blue-footed booby, trying to blend in!
