Where to spot
Found along the Pacific coast from Baja California to northern Peru, with its most famous populations in the Galapagos Islands. Breeds on rocky coasts and islands.
How to spot
Look for its unmistakable bright blue feet, white underparts, brown upperparts, and brown streaking on the head and neck. Observe its comical courtship dance, where males proudly display their feet. They perform spectacular plunge-dives for fish.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its eastern Pacific range. Breeding activity is often continuous in the Galapagos, but seasonal elsewhere.
