A Pair of Portraits of a Pair of Red Footed Boobies
You don’t get to see the characteristic red feet of these two boobies, but you can see their very colorful faces. This nesting pair was in the midst of a mating display when we walked past. It was the first full day of our Galapagos trip and we were on the island of Genovesa. Top photo — Nikon D700 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 400, f/7.1 at 1/250th of a second

They’re adorable what an amazing colour combination red feet & blue faces. I’m learning to get to know animals which I know I won’t have the chance to see in real life. It’s very educational for me. Thank you for sharing.
