Booby prize...

[Backdoctor]

at the Dry Tortugas there is the only colony of Booby's in the USA, and dont you know , the one time I pass one, the boat is going 30mph, and I had the f stop set at 10 so my shutter speed was only 1/350th while shooting at 420mm. Do the math, no chance of a sharp shot, let alone having to crop some. Here it is anyhow...

Did not turn out bad at all Harris.

Well at least next time you will know...

Never saw one of those. Good find.

Very odd, unusual looking bird!

They've got those stubby little legs, and sort of a "condensed" version of a Pelican's beak. Good find!

Very unique capture Harris. You got a good shot considering the conditions.

That's not a bad shot, Harris. Think of it this way~Any booby is better than no booby! :roll:

thanks all, I figured as Kevin said, any booby is better than no booby at all.
