Hey Ms. Barrett, I wanted to know about the blue-footed booby. Are they big?
I hope you are having a good time. I wish I was there too!

Heather, the blue footed booby is about the size of Canada geese, maybe a little smaller. I see them everyday flying around. It is really awesome to watch them dive head first into the ocean for fish. I was actually able to capture a couple of dives on video, but I haven't downloaded the footage yet. I would like to make a booby video clip for the blog. Maybe you can help me during lunch one day this week!

Yes, blue feet! The blue-footed booby is just one of the amazing animals that calls these islands home. Please join me as I travel to the Galapagos Islands from September 30, 2007 through October 12, 2007 to learn about the unique animals of the Galapagos and the environment in which they live.
Teachers - Do you want to go to the Galapagos Islands?
