booby appreciation post!

okay, so we all know these guys…blue footed boobies! the clowns of the sea!

but theres many other gorgeous boobies!

the magnificent red footed booby!

a gorgeous bandit…the masked booby…

the nazca booby with their bright orange beaks!

the brown booby…stunning, elegant and surprisingly goth…

and last but not least the peruvian booby…they look like blue footed boobies had offspring with a kookaburra

I just woke up to find a "Happy Thanksgiving" note on my nightstand. To the one who did this--you know who you are--Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

And Happy Thanksgiving to everyone else out there.
