The Itchy Booby
This is a juvenile brown booby (Sula leucogaster) that saw on the dock at Costa Maya, Mexico. The bird appears to scratch an itch in this image.
"Found in tropical oceans around the world, the Brown Booby is a dashing seabird—both in plumage, a natty brown-and-white (with bright yellow feet) and in-flight style, which involves swift aerial maneuvers and deft dives. Brown Boobies do not nest on the United States mainland but often visit waters off Florida or California. They occasionally stray as far north as Canada, and sometimes well inland. Like most seabirds that nest on islands, Brown Boobies are very vulnerable to introduced predators such as rats, mice, and cats." - allaboutbirds.org
