March 8th, hubby and I went on a boat tour to the Marietas Islands.  We saw so many wonderful sights on this tour I am breaking up the trip into two posts. The photos were from two docks, we were first on the boat at the Nuevo Vallarta Marina, then we picked up more people at the Puerto Vallarta dock. We had a great sightings of the whales and birds in flight on our way to the Marietas Islands. 

1. In the mosaic below are photos of the dock, a Magnificent Frigatebird, Pirate Ship and Cruise ships both at the dock, lots of Terns, Gulls and Brown Pelicans. 

Click on images for better viewing.

2. Magnificent Frigatebird perched on top of a boat. 

3.   At the Puerto Vallarta docks, I saw the Terns. I saw on ebird that both the Royal Tern and the Elegant Terns are seen at the Puerto Vallarta cruise port.  For some reason they all look similar to me, I do see some that have a lighter color gray. 

4. Laughing Gull, Brown Pelican and Terns. 

5. I am a little obsessed with Terns. Are they Royal Terns or Elegant Terns, or a mix of both? I am pretty sure they are not Caspian Terns, which are larger in size with a thicker heavy bill. 

6.   Some views of the whales sighted on the way out to the Marietas Island in the Bay of Banderas. 

7. I went from looking at the whales to looking up in the sky at the Blue-footed Boobies. These birds seem to be attracted to the water around the boat, they would dive into the water right next to the boat.  

8. It was fun watching these birds flying low over our boat. 

9. Which way to look, up or down. Of course, I was looking up at the Blue-footed Boobies. 

"Inside us all patiently waiting, sits a tiny little adventurous bird."
