When blue-footed boobies take flight after diving for a meal, they use their feet to push against the water to help get the speed to get airborne.
Once they are out of the water and have some speed, they tuck their feet up under themselves and fly away.
It seems that anytime brown pelicans are not feeding, they are preening their feathers on shore.
Here is a boobie taking flight from the lava on shore. I still do not know why their feet are blue.
