Birds of the Galapagos Islands


Galapagos Penguins




Oyster Catcher

Female Frigate Bird

Frigate birds are the pirates of the skies over the Galapagos. They would harass any bird that caught a fish until they would drop it and the frigate would catch it in midair.

Male frigate birds had a red pouch just below their beaks. They would inflate them during mating season to attract females.
