These guys are really cool birds. The males have that large red pouch that they inflate to attract females. There seem to be more and more lately, I'm guessing their mating season is beginning. Last week I watched a couple of these birds chase a Red-footed Boobie, they harass them, bite them in the air, knock them to the water, all in an effort to make the Boobie throw up it's lunch. They are pretty successful at this, at least they were when I was watching. They are the "bad boys" of sea birds out here.
