Fascinating Flight of the Red-footed Booby on Midway Atoll (00004930)
(3)
Description: The Red-footed Booby (Sula sula) is a breathtaking seabird known for its elegant flying skills. With bright red legs and feet, a blue bill, and striking black wingtips, it is a true spectacle. Approximately 750 pairs breed on the eastern island of Midway Atoll in the USA. These majestic birds skillfully hunt for fish by plunging into the sea from great heights. Their name 'Booby' does not do justice to their grace and beauty.
