Mostly found in Genovesa and
the Northern Islands, these small Boobies are seen perched nesting in trees
and shrubs as opposed to the other boobies that are mostly found on rocks or
the ground. The Red-Footed Booby is either mostly brown as seen in
this photo or white. There is no reason why they are brown or white.
There is a possibility of 140,000 pairs in Genovesa alone. While
sitting on the Angelique in Genovesa I looked up and thought there were
frigate birds overhead, which was a normal sight. But to my surprise
it was Red-Footed Boobies overhead and a fair amount perched on the front of
the boat below the sail. It was an exciting sight to see!
