Hunting and Eating Patterns

A Booby is a seabird.

They are quite large birds with a big wing span and long sharp bills.
Red-footed Boobies are spectacular divers. They plung into the ocean at high speeds to catch prey. They stay under water and hunt their prey from a depth.
They mainly eat small fish or squid which gather in groups near the surface.
This technique is very good as the booby is a good swimmer.

Red Footed Boobies

The Red Footed Boobies are found in Tropical Islands.
It is seen only rarely off the California coast and at sea off southern Florida, and it breeds in the Hawaiian Islands.
