2013-01-15 Playa de Oro, Manzanillo, Colima (Col), Mexico Adult female. Breeding on the nearby ocean rock Peña Blanca only two kilometers from the coast - in their thousands. This bird though, probably will never breed again since it had an injured wing and couldn't take off. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Adult female. A curled-up foot like this I've never seen, but the rest of the bird looks classic for and unmistakable in these waters. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Young bird. The rather well-marked breast demarcation with scattered brown spots on the belly make me think it is a bird in its third calendar year rather than the second. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Juvenile. Fresh and tight plumage. Even at this age the hint of the breast line is visible. The juvenile Red-footed Booby can appear similar, but normally has a more orangy pale tone to the brownish plumage, but is also very rare in this part of Mexico. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Adult female with yellow below the bill. Unmistakable with the clear distinction between the brown breast and the crispy white belly. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Adult male? The bird landing. The plumage looks like it belongs to an adult, and the bluish gray bill looks like it belongs to a male, but why isnt' it frosty white in the head then? Is it only a breeding character after all, or is it something only older males have, making this one a young adult? Other species are Heermann's Gull, Blue-footed Booby and very likely a young Brown Booby. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Young bird. Not juvenile, though, because it looks like the hand is molting and the underwing markings and belly markings seem too advanced. |

2019-04-03 Islas Marietas, Nayarit (Nay), Mexico Two young birds. There was a good number of young birds present today, but thinking about the total number of birds, in their hundreds, there should have been more if all birds were breeding at the same time, why I think they do not. |

2020-01-05 Mazatlán, Sinaloa (Sin), Mexico Young bird with the dark bluish bill and the all brown plumage. Was sitting quietly along the pier on the Isla de Piedra side of the harbor, probably sick. |
