Blue-footed Booby Monday

We commonly think of the blue-footed booby (Sula nebouxii) as living on the Galápagos Islands, but they are found on many other Pacific tropical islands. These birds are sexually dimorphic and the female is around 30% larger than the male. The blue-footed booby is best known for its elaborate mating dance which can be seen in the National Geographic video below.
