wandrr Posted May 30, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Where were these taken? There might be two different birds, both boobies. One is a Brown Booby (with the totally black head) and the other is probably a Masked Booby or Red-footed Booby (with the white head). Knowing the location will help. Can't help you with the "chicks" in the middle pictures. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, that doesn't narrow down the choices. Still could be either Masked or Red-footed. The legs don't seem to be red, so I would go with Masked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiseShelly Posted May 30, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 30, 2022 DH, a good birder, agrees with wandrr - masked booby and brown booby, as there are no red legs to indicate otherwise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
