Pam,
Thanks for the report. I've not seen many from folks who stayed at Pela Bay.
I'm not sure if there is any rhyme or reason to VAL's lateness or AF's punctuality. The trend I've noted is that all flights to and from Culebra seem to be more punctual now than they were in '95, when I first came to Culebra. The tough part is their practice of flying on demand, meaning if the plane isn't sufficiently full they don't fly.
"some were all brown and some were smaller, white with black on their heads. (Does anyone know what these other birds are?)"
The brown ones are probably brown boobys and the white ones are terns. There are 4 or 5 different kinds of terns found on Culebra and its cayos; yours sound like a least tern or a possibly a sooty tern.
