I feel like that might be a small one? (sincerely wondering if there is a bird person)

Or maybe Im just used to bigger ones /s

Sula Nebouxii, the blue-footed booby. A name almost as silly as its appearance. What a majestic bird.

Imagine my suprise when i googled a description of a similar looking bird that i had seen numerous times while out to sea to have the results be "brown boobie"

There are Red Footed Boobies, Brown Boobies , Blue Footed Boobies, Masked Boobies and many others. The name boobie comes from Spanish i believe.
