Red-footed Boobies
An abundant tree-nester on the island. The adults have amazing bare-part coloration.
This one seems to have an identity crisis, standing at the entrance of shearwater burrow!
The white-morph adults look pretty angelic in flight...
... while the duller immatures are extremely curious of visitors to the island.
Siesta time.
The juveniles moult and preen out their downy feathers, often leaving just a 'punk' topknot.

Fluffball.
This chick looked particularly miserable the day the storm passed through.
