Blue-footed Booby

29 Dec 2008 -- Loreto, Baja, Mexico

Photo taken on the Malicon at the small boat harbor in Loreto, Baja Californa Sur, Mexico.  There must have been hundreds of Blue-footed Boobies and there was a great commotion as they were all diving and fishing.  Groups of 25 or more would dive into the water together like bullets, going well under water and then all coming up as one.  I was standing on rocks quayside as the Boobies would fly by and gain altitude for another plunge into the sea.
