Red footed booby

The  red-footed booby is similar to the blue-footed variety except that it has bright red feet. A small percent of the red-foots are mistaken for masked boobies with white heads, bodies and wings, red feet and legs, and blue beaks. Colonial in nature the Red-Footed differs from the other boobies by making their nests in small trees and shrubs.
