The blue-footed booby got its name from the spanish word bobo (Pájaro Bobo), which means stupid fellow. Its lack of fear and clumsiness on land has made the species vulnerable to man.

A nice composition with the boobies, Ninfa. :) Somehow it doesn't sound right. The horizon that is not on level is my only nit in this shot. Well done. I did a WS to correct this.
Good one Ninfa good to see them combined with their natural enviroment, and boy the blue feet really do show up even at this distance. I seem to rember that they use the blue of the feet as part of a display in mating ritual bright colours like these are usually about attraction of a mate or to frighten an enemy away.
