These red-footed boobies sure are colorful! Seems that most of the wildlife at Galapagos National Park is colorful in some way. With this bird, it's the feet *and* the beak. The males like to show off their snazzy red "shoes" to the ladies during mating season. Red-footed boobies nest in trees rather than on the ground like other booby species, which actually provides good protection since these guys are the smallest of the six booby species. Oh, and they only nest in the full sun and not in shaded areas.
