First of all, this has nothing to do with chocolate, unfortunately. It's about the land that forms the very tip of the Santa Elena peninsula. "Choco" comes from the Spanish verb that means "to collide". "Tera" just means earth. The peninsula is where the northern and southern currents in the Pacific collide. It's a great place for birds and nature in general.
The first photo shows a group of blue footed boobies (again). Our faithful readers will remember when we were so tickled to see just one.
Next comes the coastline looking north.
Another view due west shows the volcanic nature of the bedrock, and some more crashing waves.
Next we have one of Marguerite's closeup of some boobies, for a better look. Earlier in the day, we were shown what good divers they are.
Finally, Marguerite's picture of a bird that is a mystery to us. Note the red bill, red feet, and the distinctive white plume feather. (Incidentally, I posted two topics today, so you may want to consider spooling further down if you are accustomed to my scant production of one post or so per week.)
