A Blue-footed booby (Sula sula) surveys to ocean below. Their stereoscopic vision allows them to spot fish from above. Once spotted, they dive after the fish and catch it before it disappears. Boobies are good flyers but sometimes become victims of the more aggressive and acrobatic frigate birds which harass them until they cough up their catch.
