The red-footed booby (Sula sula) is a seabird found in Belize, particularly on Half Moon Caye, where it has been a protected species since 1928. This bird is known for its distinctive red feet. In Belize, the red-footed booby nests in trees and shrubs, which provides protection from ground predators and sets it apart from other booby species that nest on the ground. These birds are also known for their agile flight and skilled gliding ability, which they use to catch prey.

The red-footed booby (Sula sula) is the smallest and most agile of the booby species found in the Galapagos Islands, recognized by its striking red feet and vibrant plumage. These seabirds, often seen nesting in trees along the islands' coastlines, offer a fascinating glimpse into the diverse wildlife of the archipelago. For birdwatchers and eco-tourists, encountering a red-footed booby is a memorable highlight.

The Red-footed Booby is a graceful, slim-winged seabird named for its vivid coral-red feet which males show off during courtship. Most booby species nest on the ground, but the Red-footed nests in trees, so they don’t compete for nest sites. This habit also provides protection from ground predators, a welcome advantage for this smallest of the six booby species. Like other members of the family Sulidae, Red-footed Boobies pursue fish by diving into the sea, but also chase flying fish like a flycatcher chases flies.

$Western Cattle Egret.\nThe western cattle egret (Bubulcus ibis) is a species of heron (family Ardeidae) found in the tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zones. Most taxonomic authorities lump this species and the eastern cattle egret together (called the cattle egret), but some (including the International Ornithologists' Union) separate them. Despite the similarities in plumage to the egrets of the genus Egretta, it is more closely related to the herons of Ardea. Originally native to parts of Asia, Africa and Europe, it has undergone a rapid expansion in its distribution and successfully colonised much of the rest of the world in the last century.\n\nIt is a white bird adorned with buff plumes in the breeding season. It nests in colonies, usually near bodies of water and often with other wading birds. The nest is a platform of sticks in trees or shrubs. Western cattle egrets exploit drier and open habitats more than other heron species. Their feeding habitats include seasonally inundated grasslands, pastures, farmlands, wetlands and rice paddies. They often accompany cattle or other large mammals, catching insect and small vertebrate prey disturbed by these animals. Some populations of the cattle egret are migratory and others show post-breeding dispersal.\n\nThe adult cattle egret has few predators, but birds or mammals may raid its nests, and chicks may be lost to starvation, calcium deficiency or disturbance from other large birds. This species maintains a special relationship with cattle, which extends to other large grazing mammals; wider human farming is believed to be a major cause of their suddenly expanded range. The cattle egret removes ticks and flies from cattle and consumes them. This benefits both species, but it has been implicated in the spread of tick-borne animal diseases.$
