Blue Footed Booby
I hope you enjoyed reading about our adventures on the Galapagos Islands. The boobies were, of course, entertaining as well as interesting. I found this video on YouTube.com that illustrates very well the antics these males undertake in displaying the beautiful blue of their webbed feet to prospective mates.
(I did a little research: The blue-footed booby got its name from the Spanish word bobo, which means stupid fellow. Sadly, its lack of fear and clumsiness on land has made the species vulnerable to man.)

I love the way the female sleeps through the first half of his "performance!"
