Birds of Galapagos
There are all sorts of endemic birds in the Galapagos Islands. Some highlights for your reading and viewing pleasure:
- The waved albatross - wing span of over 1.5 metres
- The Nazca boobie - as silly but not as cute as the blue-footed boobie
- Flamingos - living on the same island as the Galapagos Penguin
- Tropic birds - a photographer´s biggest challenge
- Frigate birds - cool until we found out they eat baby turtles and boobies
- Finches - 12 kinds, specially adapted to each of the islands
- Mockingbirds - cute until you realize they poke the eyes out of baby birds and drinks sea lion nasal mucus
