Wingspan is about 5 -5 1/2 feet. The birds themselves are about 34 inches tall so they are big birds.

These are nice shots. Nice to see them in the air. I see many shots where they are sitting on the ground. Maureen Souza wrote in post #19373369 Wingspan is about 5 -5 1/2 feet.

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | May 06, 2022 13:40 | #2528 In response to some of Maureen's great photos a while back, I commented on having Elephant Seals as a priority subject and recently heard of a local opportunity to find some. This pup's a few months old but still hanging out and learning the ropes after Mom migrated off. So, "check"...  931A1156-Northern Elephant Seal by Eric, on Flickr 931A1178-Northern Elephant Seal by Eric, on FlickrBecause of their proximity to people (this is in a local State Park), there are volunteers out managing exposure and you can see one of the cones used to mark off the area here. 1120mm allowed me to shoot between signs and cones for the most part, but some markers were just impossible to avoid, sadly. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

CyberDyneSystems Admin (type T-2000)  More info | May 14, 2022 15:48 | #2534 Maureen Souza wrote in post #19372965 There is only one thing more fun than watching a Booby dancing and that is to watch them dive for fish. They fly up, flip over and head down into the water at lightening speed. Even getting one only halfway in focus was a bonus for me. Even better is if you are snorkeling and a Booby explodes into the water next to you and spears a fish. They were definitely my favorite creature in the Galapagos. Love it! GEAR LIST

May 18, 2022 20:12 | #2535 I am a lucky photographer. LAST night at dusk was lucky enough to see this big guy about 4 miles from the house. And, I am the kinda guy that likes any picture of a wild bear.  Image hosted by forum (1159384) © Teton [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.
