Photographer’s Note
A young blue-footed booby -- taken in the Galapagos Islands. Since there are few predators native to the islands, the birds are conditioned to feel safe and will allow people to get quite close (as this picture indicates).

Very nice photo of a very sweet bird. I never have seen birds like that, but I find this one very cute. Nice that it is looking straight to the camera.

Is a very good photo. I liked the detail of the bird looking directly to the camera. I agree with Steft, is a very sweet bird. Congratulations.

I am not sure how the big bird looks but this little one is really cute. It looks like the baby bird is smiling. I like the contrasting colors of the white bird against the ground. Good shot.

Very interesting foto with great contrast between the white and red. Simple yet interesting because of the subject matter. Only one problem, you can't show boobies on TE...Just kidding
