Red-footed booby - brown morph (adult)

Sula sula

Description:

The Red-footed Booby is a large seabird of the booby family, Sulidae. As suggested by the name, adults always have red feet, but the colour of the plumage varies. They are powerful and agile fliers, but they are clumsy in takeoffs and landings. They are found widely in the tropics, and breed colonially in coastal regions, especially islands.

Habitat:

Isla Genovesa, Galapagos
