trees crowded with nesting frigates

dec. 10 - after fried egg sandwiches it took forever to get the dinghy into the water. i think it's a job for the dock not the deck. we dinghed over to the south side, the fishermen's village of maybe 7 huts to get an ever better (is that possible?) look at the nesting birds. oh my gawd it was fantastic. birds everywhere. so many different kinds making different sounds of mating and welcome and stay away. many of the trees were only 5 ft tall so their nests were at eye level. the nest sitters didn't budge as we walked by within touching distance. it's our western galapagos or dawin country.
