Brown Pelicans , and the northernmost Brown Booby breeding colony on this side of the Pacific. Other birds with webbed feet, including ducks and geese, have only three webbed toes; the hallux (which in birds is usually the “hind toe&# and in humans, the “big toe&# ) is free. Make up your mind, Ringer! Thanks for visiting!

They reach breeding maturity at four to seven years of age, produce only one chick per nesting season, and only one in three offspring survive to fledging age.

Plus, I mean, it’s a giant chicken-looking thing that’s actually related to ducks… with that kind of identity crisis going on, what’s not to love? Not to mention, its brilliantly bulbous crimson throat, bloated during breeding season must be a sight! The Magnificent Frigatebird is the bird I would want to see.

Another 170 are in captivity, many of them breeding stock for reintroduction efforts.
