Report Details

Dead bird we found on a walk was a Nazca Booby whose range is near the Galapagos Islands.

Actions & Comments

On a morning walk we noticed an unusual dead bird. Tried to look it up in Western bird book with no luck. Sent photo to University of Washington since we do marine debris surveys for them. They identified it as a Nazca Booby, a bird whose main breeding grounds are the Galapagos Islands.
