We suffered through the 2 1/2 hour mandatory orientation this morning but killed this afternoon, and ended with a very nice sunset. After lunch I found a very tame Masked Booby sitting on the beach....

Great silhouette image...The colors in the BG from the sunset are quite spectacular. I agree re painting comment, it looks like a painting. Great image Arthur
Many thanks for the kudos gang! They are greatly appreciated. Alan, the very old albatross is right outside my room. We need to ask to have it pointed out to us. Dave, the bird in the image is a Laysan Albatross; sorry for the slightly misleading comments above :)
Here's the best part of the story: when we got out of the golf carts it was about 2 hours till sunset. I saw some birds on this sand ridge and thought, "Whoa, get one in the right spot atop the ridge and this could be killer at sunset." But all the birds were in bad spots, in the middle of bushes or sticks.... So I got about my business and when the sky color starts getting nice I turn around and there is this bird sitting atop the perfect tussock of grass.... Whoohoo!
