BLUE FOOTED BOOBIES AND THEIR DANCE OF LOVE

Blue footed boobies are found on many Galapagos islands whereas the other types, red footed and nazca are found less often.

Capturing wondrous sights like the following penguins on lava rocks, blue footed boobies galore and sea lions ever present during bird mating rituals can be accomplished by rank amateurs like myself.  However the following clips are sometimes borrowed from fellow travellers.  The "booby novella" is borrowed from Charline Quenee.  



These Galapagos penquins have one mate for life and lay their eggs in lava cracks
 


The penquins seem to find room on the rocks to socialize
 


Blue footed boobies have more room at Los Tuneles.  They have space  to do their mating dance
 



I think that these two have made a connection.  Love is in the air.
