i promise i'll stop soon

You'll have to excuse me while i get this whole fascination with animal mating & courtship out of my system.

"The courtship of the Blue-footed Booby consists of the male flaunting his blue feet and dancing to impress the female. During the dance, the male will spread his wings and stomp his feet on the ground." (bluefootedboobyonwikipediahoorayhoorah)

I've actually seen a blue footed booby out in the wild. I took a catamaran out to an island off of Puerto Vallarta years ago and we stopped to snorkle near a bird sanctuary primarily populated by the blue footed booby. Los Arcos. A marine park with pelicans and bobos. You can snorkle near it, but you can't touch any part of the island, apparently the coral is delicate as the ecosystem there.
