This is my Father's world,
the birds their carols raise,
the morning bright,
the lily white,
declare their Maker's praise.
Job 12:7
But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you.
Our other day trip was to North Seymour, a bird lover's paradise ($179 per person). Some of the largest populations in the world of nesting blue-footed boobies and magnificent frigatebirds are found here. Birds are EVERYWHERE. Quite literally. My camera could not keep up. I even had to switch memory cards at one point, and the hike was only 1.2 miles long. It was absolutely incredible.

After this visit, Matt is even starting to like birds.
As for me, the blue-footed boobies were the highlight.
Breeding behavior among the frigatebirds.
My second favorite birds were the breeding males.

Lunch back on-board.
Then off to beautiful Bachas Beach to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea.
It was a great way to spend the last day in the islands.
