Possibly the most elegant of the boobies on the Galapagos, not surprisingly, the courtship ritual of the Nazca boobies is less elaborate than the Blue Footed as it has no equivalent bizarrely colored appendages to wave around. I have to say though that I have to like the Blue Footed the most, what it lacks in elegance, it makes up for in unlikely and admirable colouration.
