Photographed on Darwin Beach on Genovesa Island in the Galapagos.
Unlike the red-footed booby, a nazca booby does not stand on branches. We had to photograph this one and zoom in to verify that we had not seen a behavioral anomaly. If you look closely, however, you can see that this booby is actually standing on a rock. Photographed on Darwin Beach on Genovesa Island in the Galapagos.
