Blue-footed boobies live on seven of the major islands in the Galápagos. They also reside on isolated islets such as Eden Island. This endemic bird – Sula nebouxii excise – is showcasing its favorite habitat: sparsely-vegetated lava rock along a rugged coastline. Other marine birds to watch for on the shores of Eden Island are Nazca boobies, lava gulls, herons, brown pelicans and frigatebirds.
