Assertive Red Footed Booby and chick, Darwin Bay, Genovesa Island, The Galapagos, Ecuador, 2012

Birds can often seem to express their feelings by facial expression. In this case, my head-on vantage point stresses the half-open bill of a Red-Footed Booby harboring a young chick in its nest, which is set into a low tree. It appears to be asserting its right to privacy at the moment. Meanwhile, the chick seems to have created its own right to privacy by burying its head beneath its mother's chest.
