Go ahead and laugh, but there’s more to Galapagos boobies than their chuckle-inducing name! From the famous blue-footed booby to the striking Nazca and red-footed booby, these charismatic seabirds are among the Galapagos Islands’ most iconic residents. Expedition Leader Luis Vinueza explores the ecology, behavior and conservation of all three species, including their remarkable courtship displays and adaptations for life at sea. He also shares insights into the challenges they face from climate change and El Niño events—plus how to see these beloved birds for yourself on our Galapagos adventures.
