Isla Isabela

Here we are, anchored at Isle Isabela (yes, I am spelling it correctly). This anchorage became the king of rock and roll all night! It was still worth the stop. Isle Isabela is an uninhabited island except for the Warden who oversees the bird sanctuary, along with a small fishing village. Jacques Cousteau and National Geographic, featured this island in television specials.

This island is home to thousands of Frigate Birds. Here is a male blowing up the red "bubble" to attract the female for mating. We witnessed that this works well!

Here is a baby Frigate, demonstrating the results of the mating routine.

This island is one of the few areas that are refuge for the Blue Footed Booby birds.

Here you can see mom and baby. There is so many feathers on the baby they appear to be as large as the full grown Boobys. They allow you to get fairly close before getting upset.

A closer look. Check out the blue feet.
See the family behind us?

Here is a Gecko moving on. All in all, this was a very rewarding stop on our journey.
