PUERTO BAQUERIZO MORENO, Ecuador, April 25 (UPI) -- Blue-footed boobies, symbolic seabirds of the Galapagos islands, are on the decline.
According to a new study, the birds -- which are also known for their high-footed shimmy of a mating ritual -- have been dancing less and less. Published this week in the journal Avian Conservation and Ecology, the study details the booby's decline over the last several decades.
