On The Dock of Costa Maya

Here is an immature brown booby () that I saw on the dock at Costa Maya, Mexico last year.

"Found in tropical oceans around the world, the Brown Booby is a dashing seabird—both in plumage, a natty brown-and-white (with bright yellow feet) and in-flight style, which involves swift aerial maneuvers and deft dives. Brown Boobies do not nest on the United States mainland but often visit waters off Florida or California. They occasionally stray as far north as Canada, and sometimes well inland. Like most seabirds that nest on islands, Brown Boobies are very vulnerable to introduced predators such as rats, mice, and cats." - allaboutbirds.org

Brown Booby (Sula leucogaster)

Here is a juvenile brown booby flying low over water at a Caribbean port.

"Like many seabirds, Brown Boobies have a serrated, comblike toenail on their middle toe called a “preen-claw.” Boobies use it, along with their bill, to spread waterproofing oil from a gland in the tail throughout the feathers when preening. " - allaboutbirds.org
