Nazca Booby 500_3414.jpg

Boobies have similar feeding strategies, but they tend to compete harshly for nesting areas, particularly the Nazca Booby. This is the largest Booby present on the Galapagos, covered in snow white plumage with black feet, it is the most violently competitive Darwinist among them all. They are bad neighbours, both to their own species, and to their cousins, the Blue-footed Boobies. Seen on Punta Suarez, Espanola Island.
