Birdtober Day 19: Red-footed Booby



According to eBird this species is "not seen from the mainland." The birds breed on tropical islands and then spend the rest of their time at sea. It's easy to see why they named them after their feet - they are spectacular - but that bill is also quite something! I decided to write about booby species in general rather than the Red-footed specifically.

 

 

Red-foot, Blue-foot,

Lots of boobies.

Masked and Brown

Fly over water,
