Field Notes

Description:

Brown back with a mostly white head and belly. You can barely see one of her two babies under her in the first photo. It was in the middle of the day and quite hot so she was covering the little ones to keep them out of the sun.

Habitat:

On a post over the water right near the restaurant I ate lunch at.
