Identification and description:
The Brewster's Booby, or Sula brewsteri, is a medium-sized seabird belonging to the Sulidae family. It is characterized by its bright white plumage, black wings and tail, and pale blue bill. Mainly found in the Gulf of California and along the Pacific coasts of Mexico, this bird is an excellent diver, feeding primarily on fish and squid. It nests in colonies on rocky islands, usually laying two eggs. The young are fed by regurgitation by both parents. Although its conservation status is currently of concern, it is vulnerable to human disturbances and climate changes affecting its nesting habitats.

Recommended lens:
400mm – adjust based on distance, desired framing (portrait or habitat), and approach conditions.

Photography tips:
To photograph the Brewster's Booby, it is advisable to use a telephoto lens of at least 400mm to capture detailed images without disturbing the bird. The best opportunities arise during its spectacular dives or when it rests on the rocks. Favor the golden hours of morning or afternoon for soft, flattering light. Be patient and discreet to avoid scaring the birds, and use a tripod to ensure stability in your shots.
