A few gannets I took today! They are gorgeous birds, especially once you see how big they are in real life!

Bird #90 - Blue-footed booby (LC)

Do you ever think about how these animals will never know nor understand how silly they seem to us? Also, boobies are in fact the sister group to the elegant gannets, and they share the same grace and ferocity when diving for fish or in the air. I just think they look so funny when they do big steppies to show off their feet.
