A red-footed booby in flight near Genovesa Island in the Galapagos.
This red-billed tropicbird was spotted in the eastern cliffs of Darwin Bar of Genovesa Island in the Galapagos. Our guide says that it is unusual to see the front of this bird when it is perched on a cliff since it usually stands head-in to the rock face. Please excuse the quality of the picture. The light level was low and I was kneeling in a Panga Boat that was bouncing in the waves.
