Unfortunately, your title was so obvious that I knew it had to be something else. I've never seen one of these birds. Strange color feet.

Those critters exist, only in Galapagos . That shot was taken without a telefoto. I was able to get within three or four feet from the little bird.

Great image, just curious, does it look like it is picking for its nest? I am clueless with these birds.

What you see is part of their courtship ritual. It is called the "Dance of the Boobies".
We are not allowed to touch any of the critters in the park...but you could get within inches

Thanks. Blue-footed Boobies are unique to the Galapagos.
None of the critters are afraid of humans.
Mother sea lions will let you come within a few feet of them even when they are nursing their pups.
I had sea lions swim up to my mask while I was twenty feet under water.
