Holy birds Batman!  When we dropped anchor all you saw were birds above the island.  Before breakfast we saw two white tip sharks swimming around the boat.  After breakfast we headed over to Prince Phillip’s steps and took a walk and saw two different Red-footed Boobies (brown and white), Nazca boobies and their eggs or chicks (one which had just hatched and didn’t have any feathers), lots of great frigatebirds, storm petrels and short eared owls.  Afterward we snorkeled, the new fish we saw today were:  four-eyed blenny, moorish idol, and blue chin parrot fish (actually we have seen them the last couple days).  

The rest of the day we skipped the activities.  There was a panga ride where they saw more great frigates and storm petrels and then took a walk on the beach to see even more great frigates.
