Eric, that's the provincial bird of the Galapagos - a Blue Footed Booby. His name's Pancho. What the "Are you lookin' at me?" photo doesn't show is a long, wicked sharp bill. I was kind of scared to get any closer to him than about 5 feet away. Which is still a lot closer than I've been to most large seabirds, except when I was divebombed by a Frigate in Manta.
