This Nazca booby chick looked like a pile of cotton with a beak. The Nazca is one of three different species of booby that I photographed while in the Galapagos Islands. The other two being the blue footed and the red footed boobies. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/2500th of a second

Hi Michael, no, these birds are wild in the Galapagos Islands and shouldn’t be pets.
Amazing!

Thanks Amanda. This is one of those nice discoveries when I search through my archives and find something that I don’t quite remember shooting.
