It's easy to
see where this Blue-footed booby (Sula sula) gets its name.
With their comical mating ritual, these are the most interesting
to watch of the three types of boobies in the Galapagos (Red-footed
and Masked are the other two). The ritual involves raising the
feet to show off the color, and animated wing movements that
gives the impression of a dance. Their large blue feet not only
look good, but they help propel the birds underwater while chasing
after fish. |
