Kay, this sounds like a great day outing!! I was impressed with how visitors are brought ashore! Great bird photos and information on the efforts to protect them on their isolated little outcrop. | matcrazy1 Fri Jan 5, 2007 14:50 UTC

I'm so glad the conservation methods are working here & the numbers of rare birds is increasing - The pics of the birds are great = you capture them so well | deecat Sun Aug 27, 2006 22:08 UTC
Bravo for the warblers! I sure enjoyed these pages and seeing all the birds, especially the whitetailed tropicbirds. It must be exciting to be able to photograph these birds, especially the rare ones. |
