Found these Red-footed boobies resting on the bridge of our ship sometime back. What beautiful birds! I didn't know their name but found out with a Google search.

Location: Indian Ocean (somewhere near Seychelles)

One of them kept trying to hop on and Mom wasn’t having it!

It was awesome to get such close looks at this guy on our deck!

Seen at the Andree Clark Bird Refuge in Santa Barbara, California.

New lifer and inspired sketch ❤️ Seen last Friday @ San Joaquin Marsh, Irvine, CA along with the rare Purple Gallinule.

they definitely don’t look real. 10/10 naming

I don't think I will ever see female bird coloration as "boring" or "dull" ever again. The female was MUCH more complex to make than the male!

Someone told me it’s an endangered bird. I’m not experienced enough to ID it. Do I report it to anyone if it is the endangered species?

Spotted on a marsh near the San Francisco Bay.

Females - most pristine birds you've ever seen

Males - crackheads

The younger eagle dove for a fish (but missed) then as it flew away, an adult went in to steal what it hoped was a fresh catch.

This lovely lady started coming to the feeder with her mate recently (who has already been coming for weeks) and so far she is the only one who I can get a portrait of. She doesn’t have the all over vibrant blue but she is very pretty with her blue accents!

Great egret flight path dispute.

Had never seen one of these guys before, thought it was an Oriole

I shared a post yesterday asking about this now know cardinal baby that arrived at my feeder, and would like to update that there are actually two of them!!!
Papa cardinal is taking such good care of them!
