Unexpected birds on the Canal: Magnificent Frigatebird and Brown Booby

Magnificent Frigatebird and Brown Booby: Panama Canal, Gamboa, Panama, July 2022 — Frigatebirds are common in the air over the Pacific coast of Panama but I did not expect to see them sitting on a buoy in the middle of the Canal. And even our guide did not expect to see the Brown Booby sitting with them. 🙂 That is part of the fun of birding of course…expecting the unexpected. Sony Rx10iv at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom birds and wildlife modifications. Processed in Pixelmator Photo and Apple Photos. Frigatebird ISO 200 @ f4 @ 1/500th, Booby ISO 100 @ f4 @ 1/800th.
