The blue-footed booby is a marine bird from the Pacific Ocean, and you can find them in California all the way down to Peru. The Peruvian Booby can have gray feet.

It is primarily a marine bird, but the rocky Pacific shoreline provides a sanctuary for nesting. Their nostrils are sealed, and breathing is via the sides of their beaks. And their eyes are also located in the upper part of their bill providing them with a sharp vision.

Their blue feet are used n mating to attract a mate with the males trying to out strut each other by lifting their feet high up similar to a walking on skis. Their marine diet determines the blue pigmentation of their feet. The brighter blue the feet, the healthier the bird.

The Blue Suede Shoes song comes to mind when I see these birds.
