Red-Footed Booby

Red-footed boobies are tropical seabirds recognized by their bright red feet and strikingly variable plumage, which ranges from mostly white to almost entirely brown. They spend much of their lives over warm oceanic waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. Unlike most other boobies, they commonly construct nests in shrubs or trees on remote islands, where they gather in dense breeding colonies. (Animal Diversity Web)

These agile fliers feed on flying fish, squid and other marine prey, often capturing animals driven toward the surface by underwater predators. They may dive from the air or seize flying fish above the water. A breeding pair normally raises a single chick, with both parents sharing incubation and delivering regurgitated food. Their exceptionally long parental-care period allows the chick to develop the flight skills required for oceanic life. (Animal Diversity Web)
