Birds of Galapagos

 Nazca Boobies

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
