Wildlife - vol.2

De Anne found a blue footed boobie sittting on the beach during one of her walks. It was still there when she returned so she and Linda decided on a "wildlife rescue". We named it Boobie (showing our ability to come up with appropriate names). Boobie was housed on our porch in a spare dog kennel.

The cats were not pleased with a large bird as a house guest.

After a good nights sleep Boobie seemed more alert. We supplied water and shrimp; however, Boobie showed  no interest. Xavier (Linda's manager) came by to check on Boobie. He grabbed the beak, stretched the neck and felt it. He said there was still food in the gullet, but checking the feet said there were signs of dehydration.

We took Boobie down the beach to a quiet area and released him.

During the past couple days we have been having internet problems. I will post more pictures when the problem is fixed.
