Observation details
We are not familiar with this species, but our accompanying national park guide Edward Mero who has observed birds in this location for many years noticed it immediately and said a Masked Booby has been seen here at least once annually for several years. It appeared to be a female masked booby associating with a male Nazca Booby. The bird was notable for the somewhat larger and different shaped paler yellow bill- not orange like the Nazca Booby. See iPhone photos attached. Better quality photos available.
