The Red-footed Boobie

While the Blue-footed Boobies and the Nazca Boobies build their nests on the ground, making them easy to see and photograph, the Red-footed Boobies make their nests in bushes and trees. We were only able to see one of them where their red feet were plainly visible.

And there are the red feet		 An 8-week old waiting for its parents to return with food
