| Blue-footed booby, Hood Island. We walked
up a rocky path littered with blue-footed boobies and their nests They nest right on
the path; you can walk right up to them. Some were sitting on eggs, and some had one
to three chicks. If you're a male blue-footed booby, the bluer your feet are, the
more successful you are with the lady boobies. During courtship, you show your feet
to your intended partner, who inspects them for blueness. Nikon F4, 200 mm f/4 Micro-Nikkor, f/4, 1//25, fill-flash, Kodak Royal Gold 100. |
