Nazca Booby, Galapagos National Park/ Genovesa Island, Ecuador
Nazca Booby tends the next generation

Species: Nazca Booby | Location: Galapagos National Park/ Genovesa Island, Ecuador

The Nazca booby is pushing the eggs up onto her/his feet before sitting on them to keep them warm. This is similar to how penguins warm their eggs.
