Other Types of Boobies

I am doing my blog on the Red Footed Booby, but there are also more different types of boobies, I will now tell you about them:

Blue Footed Booby
Which is the most common of all the boobies. Their natural habitat is between Peru and Mexico. It takes about 2-3 years for a young booby to reach the size of an adult.

Nazca/Masked Booby
The largest of the Galapagos booby can grow to 30 to 35 inches (76 to 89 cm) in length with a wingspan of 5 to 6 ft (1.5 to 1.8m). They are identfied by their beautiful white head and patches on their back. They are common in the tropics and are known for nesting along cliff edges and the sea.
