A blue-footed booby showing those characteristic blue feet as it struts across the sand. These guys are one of the iconic species of the Galapagos. I photographed them on several of the islands, including this one on Seymour Island. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 220mm) ISO 400, f/5 at 1/5000th of a second.
Ain’t nature grand! I never heard of these creatures until you started your nature photography, and I probably would not have believed a bird could have such blue feet if you had not taken pictures!!! Their name is just the frosting on the cake!! Love this.

Oh, how I would love to photograph a blue-footed booby! Congrats on this image. Looks like you got it mid-strut!
Would love to see one some day
The blue really makes them unique

Another great title! And no joke!

Was that taken while we watched you being trailed around by your charming other half carrying two hundred weight of gear?
