Red-Footed Boobies (Sula sula)
The Red-Footed Booby is the smallest of the booby species and arguably the weirdest. Its bright lipstick-colored feet are attached to a body of rather dull white with pale brown wings. Red Footed Boobies are fish eaters and feed almost exclusively far off shore in the open ocean, often around the submerged bajos or submarine volcanoes where upwelling currents cause a bloom of algae and of fish that feed on them. The tree-nesting species live almost exclusively in the infrequently visited islands of Genovesa, North Seymour, and Wolf.
