Juan Luis spots a pair of Blue-footed booby, the rarer cousin of the plentiful Nazca booby. We all gather around to watch as a male lifts one bright blue foot, then the other, in a mating dance. He bobs his head, fans his tail feathers, and circles the female, who seems wholly uninterested in his romantic display.
Did you know that boobies got their name from "bobo," the Spanish word for "stupid?" (P.S. they really are the most ridiculous birds and I love them) Learn more fun booby facts & watch them in action here: https://www.expeditions.com/expedition-stories/stories/wild-personalities-blue-footed-booby/
