Description
Original watercolor painting, 'Young Blue-footed Boobies', by Lynn Cyrus/ Cascade Colors. The Blue-footed Booby is a striking bird of the Pacific Ocean, known for its characteristic blue feet which it acquires gradually over time due to the seafood that it eats. I had the pleasure of seeing a breeding colony of these fascinating birds while visiting Ecuador. The Isla de la Plata, the 'Poor Man's Galapagos', is an island off the coast, near the village of Puerto Lopez. When I visited in early December, some chicks had hatched and were being attended by their parents. It was such fun to watch them! It is also fortunate that these birds live on a preserved and protected wildlife preserve.
