Last night we were visited by several seabirds and
one red-footed booby has taken up residence. We have tried encouraging him
to fly back to the Galapagos but he is determined to make the trip with
us. I have no idea whether there are other boobies in the Marquesas, so
this may be the first "Lonesome Booby".
In the radio net someone suggested setting a booby
trap to capture it and then painting its feed black so it would fit in better in
the Marquesas. But if we are going to all
the effort of capturing it then you have to wonder whether red footed boobies
might not make good eating. |
