RED-FOOTED BOOBY, LITTLE TOBAGO ISLAND, TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

   We can ID these seabirds as Red-footed Bobbies.   There are two morphs shown in these photos: the white morph and the brown morph.  Both morphs have red legs and bluish bills.  The white morph is generally white with the primaries and tips of secondaries black.  The brown morph is generally brownish, but depending on the light it can appear gray, etc.

   The Red-footed Booby is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 589.
