One of the more fun names to say in the animal kingdom — the blue-footed booby. I’ve posted a few of these guys in the past. This one was about to make a landing on an offshore rock in the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. His/Her blue feet on full display, but almost blending in with the blue sky in the background.
