Observation details
Seen for about a minute criss-crossing the bow of our cruise ship, which was returning to Galveston from Progreso, Mexico. This was seen on a sea day before returning to port. Immediately recognized as Red-footed Booby (2nd cycle-ish) with whitish head contrasting with brown body. Bill grayish with pink hue. Reddish feet visible in photo when it banked away from the ship. Seemed like it appeared out of nowhere as I glanced up and saw it at fairly close range passing our balcony. Brown Boobies were the only species seen throughout the morning so knew it was something different.
