We went to the Galapagos on our honeymoon. These are some for the goofiest, most aptly named birds in the world. Their feet are actually bright blue. This is a mating ritual. They dance around making clown sounds. One sound is lie one of those bicycles horns with the rubber bulb. The best part is watching them land. They are really quite graceful when fishing, sometimes, from over a hundred feet up, they'll tuck in their wings and hit the water like an olympic high diver and essentially always come up with a fish. But, when they come back to land, they don't quite know what to do with their giant blue webbed duck feet, so they actually tuck and roll. Truly entertaining birds.
