Photo Of The Day – Boobies In Panama

Title: Boobies In Panama

Location: Pearl Island, Panama, Central America

Description: Yes, it is a hopelessly obvious click-bait title. Forgive me. Booby jokes, while on an ornithology themed cruise, never get old. Nor are the participants too old.

Here we have three different species. Up above is the Brown Booby. It’s feet are yellow and so is the area around its head.

Below we have the Blue-Footed Booby that everyone knows from the Galapagos. They have a wide range and are quite happy in Panama as well.

Then we have the Peruvian Booby.

I’m excited to be heading back to Central America and you can join me for one of two trips in November and December 0f 2017 in Costa Rica and Panama. One trip is from Costa Rica to Panama, including a transit of the Panama Canal and a number of National Parks and islands, while the other is the same itinerary in reverse. I’d love to see you on either trip and you can save $200/cabin by using code CH2U117 when booking either of those Costa Rica/Panama itineraries.

If you want something a little cooler, head to Alaska in August for another photography cruise with UnCruise Adventures! If you would like to join me on this cruise and learn photography in some of the most spellbinding scenery Alaska has to offer, click this link for more info http://www2.uncruise.com/l/182202/2016-11-03/972p1 and scroll down to the Photography section.
