Red-footed Booby

The Red-footed Booby is a medium-sized seabird known for its striking reddish-orange feet and vibrant blue eye rings. Native to tropical oceans, particularly around the Caribbean and Pacific islands, it spends most of its life at sea, coming ashore primarily to breed. It feeds mainly on fish and small squid, often catching prey by diving or swooping from the air. These birds nest in trees or shrubs on islands, forming colonies. Their distinctive appearance and behaviors make them an important part of marine ecosystems, and they are a symbol of tropical island wildlife conservation.
